Leo July 21 - August 21

Well hello there Leos, a Happy Happy Birthday to you this year, and what a fantastic year it will be - one for you to shine.

We are all so aware of the fact that you do like to appear as if everything is always perfect, the take charge person. This year you are willing to share your wealth of knowledge with others at your barn - a great place to start! Trying to set goals for yourself and your horse will prove futile until you come to terms with the task at hand, and try to repair any damage which has been done to your horse. A great relationship will reach a turning point towards the end of the year when you will be put to the test and pass with flying colours. A health issue with your horse is beginning to look better. Time for your grand finale. Remember you are only as good as your horse, so take care of him and he will take care of you in return. Galloping through the months ahead will bring you great joy.



Virgo August 22 - September 22

A wonderful period is ahead of you, great timing also to attend a seminar if you are interested in acquiring new knowledge, in any specific field. Your horse appears to have mastered the lead changes and is now ready for the next level of training. He may need his teeth floated. Towards the end of the year with everything working in your favour, I am seeing a very happy, healthy horse. His tack is properly fitted and he is ready to have some fun trail riding. Some shows may be in order this season as well. Enjoy the summer.



Libra September 23 - October 22

Going for gold will be all the talk this season and you will make it all happen. Everyone is astonished at your horse's progress. The two of you are really enjoying the longer days and the sunshine. You will be honoured because of your fine sportsmanship. Keep it up! He seems to like to show off his shiny stuff..Make sure your helmet fits you well. Clean and condition your tack, it will last longer.


Scorpio October 23 - November 22

You will be making a lot of changes with your horse, take strides to understand your horse at a different level. This will pay off handsomely and you will be quite proud of yourself before the season is over. Your interest will be peaked enough to join an organisation for breed specific activities. A bit of a muscle problem is affecting your horse's behaviour, try giving him a massage.


Sagittarius November 23 - December 20

You will be very comfortable riding your horse in the coming months, as the new saddle is the perfect fit, try it out some more by taking him to a show or two, he will love all the attention he attracts. The slight cold which may have troubled him is now gone, so everything is under control. Helping out at the barn will be good for you.If you are considering changing your coach, give it a lot of thought, sometimes we can regret decisions made on the spur of the moment.A good trainer is worth their weight in gold.



Capricorn December 21 - January 19

Hello there my friend - an excellent summer is ahead of you, one full of changes, lead changes, lead changes.Your horse loves the attention he gets from you and the dandy comes in handy. At the end of the season all will be well, that little hiccup he experienced was because he was given the wrong aids, now he is ready to enter the world of competitive riding and he will shine. Go for it! A little trail riding helps, and gives you another opportunity to bond with this horse.



Aquarius January 20 - February 18

All things being equal, you will have a fairly good season. Your hard work is finally paying off. Preparing the horses was not an
easy task but now you have come into your own and know where you need to go.Try to remember to pick your horse's hooves after your lessons, and remember to laugh, afterall you are having fun. Your horse loves you. Looking toward a very bright future indeed... Think about it, this is just the beginning. Good luck!



Pisces February 19 - March 20

This month will bring a lot of long-term changes which may affect your barn, likely for the better. You have been noticing
the need to relax a bit more. Having done so, you are now raring and ready to go. Around the middle of the month, a wee bit of "TLC" will enhance your horse's health.Your horse loves to have baths, go ahead and try the new shampoo out on him. Your new tack box looks great. Using the currycomb in a circular motion has your horse loving the massage.



Aries March 21 - April 20

Things could not be better for you this month. You have fulfilled a lifetime dream and everything else is falling into place.
You may be asked to take on more responsibility and may be given the task of teaching or overseeing a special project. A big
move is anticipated. Take your time and choose your horse carefully, as you should plan on keeping this horse for a long time.

Make sure your horse gets a checkup this year as well.Write all the questions you would like to ask your vet, and any symptoms you would like to double check.




Taurus April 21 - Mary 20

More work is needed for you to accomplish your goal.You are on the path to get your own horse, choose carefully, talk to everyone who will listen to you, that way you will get a lot of information. You can sift through this slowly. You can almost touch success but may just be ready to throw in the towel, then out of the blue your horse will respond in a manner which will make you feel special. Trying out for the competition has given him a lot of confidence, he is very kind and will work with you, take care of him until you buy your own horse.



Gemini May 21 - June 20

You will be fearless this month and will come out on top in spite of the odds being against you. Your horse will be giving you
a clear message, this can be a bit confusing for you, as the instructions are different with each horse and you are riding quite a few of them. There will be time for you to be impatient next month,do not worry about making mistakes when you are riding, try to make notes after the lesson jot down the things you did, and the things you should have done, not to worry you are making a lot of progress.



Cancer June 21 - July 20

I am seeing you using some of your birthday goodwill on your horse, getting some new tack will please you no end, as you will get quite a few deals. You are very brave and have surpassed expectations with your horse! Spend some time speaking with your trainer ask her questions, make sure you put her experience to good use by using her advice. Take care of yourself and be good to your horse, a little treat now and again will be quite alright.


Sincerely,
Lauren Bode
