Hi Jackie.... well, I don't know how I am doing.... things spun out of control..... that thread about calming signals and watching Ellen with her Stallion got me all out in the back yard with my horses...... and Cavalia came to town which is inspiring..... and I was happy with my horse Oliver for five minuts...... and then all of a sudden my trainer came back and started using negative adjectives for all the bad things Oliver was doing while I was trying to do my Cavalia demo and I just fell apart again...... I don't know girl.... this Orphan Horse thing might be the end of me...... he looks exactly like Ellen stallion to me, he wasn't crowding, we were working together, I thought we looked great and I was not afraid...... I am kind of depressed again about him... and when that happens, back to Barnmice to talk about horses..... cuz if I go outside I might play with my horse, godforbid..... and I couldn't figure out my name on here so I was lost in space..... LOL.... I hope you are being the all inspiring riding Jackie that you always are!! 

aww thank you so much Jackie Reggie was a good guy

Yeah--there's nothing like the look of amusement on a horse's face, is there?  You KNOW you have been truly laughed at! 

I keep telling my doctors "you don't get it--I will NOT stop riding--it's the only thing that keeps me going..."    So--we reached a compromise--I now ride Western.  They think that keeps me safer (more support  plus a saddle horn)--they don't get that I don't have any idea I'm coming off until I'm on the ground!!  

I have truly wonderful support--and am very grateful!

I'm sorry to hear that you have issues so similar to mine--tremor, strength, left side weakness, exhaustion, balance...  My sweet gelding looks down at me when I land on the ground as if to say, "I don't know what I did to cause that, but I AM SO SORRY!"  Smile.   He's my best therapist.  Sounds like you have a great teacher.  I'd love to find someone like that for myself.  Keep on enjoying every day and look forward to reading your postings.

Hi Jackie , Yes ,your right. I took about 6months to get that happening! We have to train a new horse this year , so we started today with him, getting him use to have another horse in his hairdo. He's a big un, 17.3 !! I'll put some pics up of him when we have a bit more weight on him.

hello your horses are so cute

Thats good sick of homework your so lucky that you have warm weather here its hailing and its FREEZING here same here i hate going to school its boring and thanks now i feel lucky that i get to ride but my pony is located 2 hrs away :( cant go up there only on weekends maybe going up WED!!!

heyyy

 

What kind of bridle are you riding the bay horse in?

Thanks for your comment on my video, I really appreciate it!

 

Thanks again, Jackie!

Thank you very much

 

Yep! I've only been riding her up and down the driveway maybe 5 times, then getting off.

Once the nicer weather comes along, it will be easier. I'll probably be sending her to a trainer in April to get her started over jumps, because I'm not experienced enough to do that yet.

Thanks for the comment!

thats not good today in school it was snowing so hard so fast everyone ran to the window to see! :) Whats up!

Thanks so what's up

Hi Jackie..... where did the time go?  Why was I on Barnmice non stop and then not for a long time?????? I just re-registered and I see that there is a new format, interesting... :)  I don't know if I'll be able to find you over on the new format are you there?  Oliver is so great... I put up a photo of us today on Facebook and this lady was harrassing me that I don't really know about how I was pulling on his mouth and why don't I ride bitless and I thought again, too many cooks in the kitchen and I would never ever want to hurt my horse..... like my o ring snaffle was abusing him..... so maybe I just suck I don't know..... there are so many thing to worry about..... and being a lameo at riding is not fun.... I wish I had more experience, but hay, I can get my horse away from a girl horse so that is good I guess... I look forward to many conversations this year with you my friend.. Happy New year.... How you ride in the cold I will never understand.  I am feeling better doing Yoga and getting stronger so I can ride.... :)   Are you seeing a warm snap at all?

thanks!
