I do like that when something isn't going the way I would like it to we have the tools in place to change it

That's the ticket!

I just hope the toolbox is still to hand when we're away from our nice safe* arena at home.

*except for the monster-infested hedge, obviously

Hats off to you Ben. You are a braver man than I am. It's interesting to me all this stuff you write, as it is very similar to stuff I am working on with my horse.
I'm quite excited by your dressage test - if I lived nearer I'd definitely come and watch, or are you banning spectators.

[glenatron]

Oh I think spectators will be unavoidable. I believe Kerin is coming along to see her horse in action...

I kind of feel that I do need to be out and doing with my horse, not in a way that is too deliberate or ambitious, but the experience will do us both good I think. Even if the outcome is total carnage...

It's good to see getting out there and doing this stuff. I agree with the above comment that its not so much about the competition or the showing off, but more about the getting out in the world and doing ok even still.

I'm excited for you to be taking this adventure with your horse!!!

[glenatron]

I'm excited too, when I'm not terrified. I can speak or play music in front of an audience with no qualms at all, I have something of the performer about me by nature, whether I can ride a horse in front of people is another matter entirely. Especially people who can see how badly I'm doing it wrong...

Don't worry, they'll notice how capably you're doing it right too. Sometimes that's even scarier...
