Well, it's been an interesting few weeks. I learned that as I started asking for a little bit "more", Miss Nip started to make it clear that there were some issues that need to be addressed, both mentally and physically. It would take way too long to explain what her physical issues are, but they are pretty darn interesting to say the least. I'm going to be doing a few weeks of hands-on therapy with her to work through some of these issues, and then start over.

It's been a long while since I posted an update, and I feel very special that several folks have asked for one 
As expected, we've had good days, great days, and really bad days. When I've hit a stumbling block I spend the next day or two doing groundwork where I can more effectively address the problem (like not moving off my right leg). The next ride is always SO much improved! I'm sure a better rider could address things just as effectively through a ride, but that's why they...

Miss Nip needs to continue to learn to work in the pasture. So, back out there this morning. It's like starting all over Trotting is sporadic, lots of head tossing, stop start. It was a bit frustrating, but given how relatively quickly she's progressed in the ring, I think if I concentrate on the field for a while, things will get to where they are in the ring.
One thing's for darn sure though, I'm waiting until the ring gets fenced in before I even think about cantering!...

They are LARGE, I'm very sorry, I'm working on how to get them reduced in size. The first is 9mb, the 2nd is 12mb (I think).
