- Hi Andrea,
Roger has been there for a week already, and we went up today to go and see him drive with Jim. To my suprise he let me drive him in the ring. He was so good! Then Jim said to take him down the road. A car went by us and a dog was barking at him (Jim said that he used to have a problem with the dog, but not today!). He was scared of a couch on the side of the road, but we got him by it, with Jim leading him. He was so good, its really hard to beleive that hes only been driving for a week! Jim said he really liked him, and that he had a really nice soft mouth. Jim said he was going to move the couch to a different spot and drive him by it again. He's really getting him exposed to things. Theres dirt bikes next door and they have even come up on Roger when hes been driving him and he was really good with them. We plan on going back up next weekend and I will drive him again. Jim said he would come here for the first time when I drive Roger to help me out. He really is a great guy!! I cant say good enough things about him.

Hi Guys,One of the biggest mistakes riders make when we're trying to overcome horseback riding fears is that we direct our efforts toward the conscious mind. You know--willpower, iron-jawed determination. The problem with that strategy is that you c…
