Dark, ...Thanks - and I know exactly what you mean. Dark, cold, trailer... Bleh. But then I go, and it's a wonderful feeling when I can actually internalize something new. Of course, if I take Sunny when it's this cold I don't sleep the night after worrying about him being chilly and stiff... <br /><br />When I went for my first lesson and Eric asked me what my goals were, I said, "I want to be a better rider." Having very little idea what that entailed... And overall it's been great. But I still love that feeling I get when I look out between Sunny's ears with his nose pointed down the road the best.SunnySDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591623033468632399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236997103697514621.post-43487121970713466352011-12-06T18:51:56.702-06:002011-12-06T18:51:56.702-06:00I love this post because I feel exactly the same w...I love this post because I feel exactly the same way. I have a broke horse (when she wants to be)but she could be better at more things than just what I do. I think its me that needs to be more broke or as you mentioned, become a better rider for my horse. I love to take lessons for that reason. The bad thing is I don't have TIME to take lessons. I just want to ride! LOL. Winter would seem like the logical time, but to come home at dark, catch a horse in the cold, trailer and drive to lessons a 1/2 hour away and then bring home a wet horse, unload in the cold... excuses, excuses... but damn good ones.<br /><br />I want that broke horse that your Eric talks about but it does take effort. It is pretty cool that you are doing these lessons and can't wait to hear more.Tammy Vasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531335275070860886noreply@blogger.com
