They have their days, that's for sure. Getting them to engage that back end when they don't feel like it? It means we have to work harder. Do you have any hills to work him on? It really helps strengthen the back end. Try to just have fun, that's the whole point, right? And keep thinking, Ride every stride. :-)Denise at Autumn Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229028926029898680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-34553551760128372692015-08-06T23:12:15.835-07:002015-08-06T23:12:15.835-07:00Hi again, Lorie, I made a special mention of you i...Hi again, Lorie, I made a special mention of you in my latest blog post. :) http://tlmerrybard.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/mice-chickens-and-turtles.html<br /><br />I'll try and get you a better picture of next door's Appies next time!T.L.

I think it's a lot harder as adults than it was as kids. We have a lot more baggage and a lot less dumb courage. :) T.L.

Those tougher days are probably hard, but you may look back on in them in the future and realize its where you grew the most as a horsewoman..and human. I have to emphasize the "in the future" part though. ;) This getting to know each other phase is why you have to really LOVE the horse you're working with, to make it all worth it, and by your first paragraph description of him, I would say you're ALL in with this boy!! It's LOVE!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-23424635858193160622015-07-30T08:19:47.993-07:002015-07-30T08:19:47.993-07:00Love the picture and his expression!

I can relate to your frustration, some days it's game on and some days it just flows. You could try emailing yourself the photos off your phone, sending from the photo or attaching via email. It's different on every phone, it's fun isn't it? Before you know it, it'll be old hat. Thanks so much for your encouraging words on my blog, your comments always make me feel better.aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-86638987214457421012015-07-29T19:11:31.134-07:002015-07-29T19:11:31.134-07:00To have your special horse is so wonderful.
