When I first think about training, I think, Oh ohhh, the horse has to do something, but lately, ive been realizing something… The horse knows what to do, its just the rider that needs to learn how to ask her horse to do so.
Now place that into Jackie and I, bam! Ive been riding for about 8 years, and to be as brutally honest to myself, I know maybe a little more then average riders. I know how to do vital things, But I as a rider need to improve immensely to improve my mount, Which also hurts...

I don’t believe anyone remembers Dolly… Here’s a refresher;

Now, let me tell you, I was letting this mare step all over me and didn’t realize it until I got my own lesson from trusted friend DD and a cowboy, who I forgot…Any who, We noticed she would nearly back up into a few trucks, some people, yada yada, it was bad, so we decided, hey, lets get my buggy whip on her and use it correctly to push her...

I was reading the in the spotlight; Kissitgoodbye, and well, to say, she really inspired me to try a lot harder then just putsing around!
I dont know if anyone is reading this, but eh, i recently posted in the forums on doing english all summer, and well, its going to be hard, but i garantee...I will do this!!!! To everyone who is watchin me, Thanks a billion, I will have plenty of pictures for your enjoyment!!

I know times are hard for a lot of people right now, but ive been horse less for over 3 years now
and every year its the same excuse
"You have Jackie to ride, free!"

Right.
Shes a great animal but she is 18 years old, has been all around the place and has no perks.

I want my own horse
and in the mean time, i can wait, improve my skills
but i just miss having my own horse, i miss a good challenge, i miss being able to call a horse...
