Yes, another rained out long weekend for my sister and me…
Thursday, the river was too high. We rode Cruiser and Ranger up and down the hill 3 times. I worked with Cole in the arena, and we had fun. My sister rode him for a little bit, and it was nice because then I could watch him. He is quite a sight. I then led him down to the river as a reward.
Friday, the river was still way to high to cross. This time, we rode Cruiser and Ranger in the arena, too,…

Had a great lesson today. Our coach could see that we were all riding speedy horses today so we spent the lesson working on slowing down. We were to do a lot of whoa and back up, also did posting trot on the long side and sit jog on the short with circles in the corners. We learned to stay on a circle and keep our horses head and shoulders in between the reins. I was also working on getting Cooper to lower his head more and to give him more rein, to trust him more. By the end of the lesson…

My corner of Colorado is having a particularly colorful Autumn. The sun rise is later and later, but the dawn colors seem worth the wait. Tomatoes plants have wilted but the tree leaves are frosted and toasted to richness. I hear big weather is coming next…

I have finally gotten around to writing an introduction to myself. I am an avid trail rider (which is the same thing as hacking.) I live over here in the US in Cleveland, OH. It is a pretty good-sized urban area, and we are lucky enough to have a terrific trail system running right through it. We share the trails with lots of different users, so our horses have to be very tolerant. We also ride close to the roads, so they have to be good with traffic, too.
I have 2…

It was a lovely night for riding, yesterday. My boyfriend got in the saddle before I got there—I got caught in traffic. I saddled up Cruiser, and away we went to meet his buddy Starry. Cruiser knew the game, and as usual, I had to keep slowing him down. We met them about 20 minutes later, and I talked my boyfriend into turning around and continuing with us until the next river crossing. it was such a pretty night, that it didn’t take much coaxing. Even his horse didn’t mind turning…

A long weekend for us, at least this year, means rain.
The weather was great on Thursday. My sister and I planned to go on our favorite ride with Cole and Ranger up to the show ring.10 minutes down the trail, we had to turn around. The electric company was trimming the trees under the wires by the trail. To make matters worse, the trail that we would take to get away from them goes out to the street by a bridge—and there were construction workers repairing it. They were…

Every year, I go through the same turmoil when it comes to Halloween. I hate to be that person, the one who puts a damper on a pretty fun holiday. But when it comes to trick-or-treating, it pains…

We were learning to yield the hind end at a walk.
The hour was spent on one side, next time I am up will have to do the other side. Walk forward in a straight line and press our leg just behind the cinch for a count of 2. If he didn't move hind end then would pull the rein and get him to yield his hind until his hips moved over. Then walk back in the same direction you were going and start over.
He finally did a good one near the end of the hour and ended on that. Hope to do…

The connection between horses and music is not abstract. It’s literal.
I was learned this fact years ago riding with a group of friends at a barn party. The sound system was cranked up and Bobby McFerrins’Don’t Worry was playing. I am sure…
