It's been way to long since I last updated my blog. Sorry! October and November was a really hard time for me. My horse has very lame in his heel and the feeling of my horse not ever able to do anything other then just be was killing me. Luck for me and him he just bruised his coffin bone and needed time to rest.
My mentor Don Jessop was in town to do a clinic. Chiclet and I made the trek in freezing cold weather for 2 days of lessons. It was the best rides so far with Chiclet. Introduced the flying chinge riding. Oh what fun! That was day one. Day 2 more flying change. Canter.... walk shoulder in haunches in....canter....NO TROTTING! It's just a slow break down of flying change at the walk. Move the shoulders over so the hind end can have room to change. Loved it! A first for both of us. We did some natural jumping. We jumped a triple.....we have never jumped a triple. It was the best. Trotted it a few time then canter soooo much fun and who would have known
Chiclet loved it too.
On an other note my life has been consumed with driving and work and other peoples needs. Just taking care of Chiclet is starting to be a job and I hate that because I love taking care of him. Everyone at the barn is so demanding I just want to be with my pony. Tomorrow I'm going to look at a barn that is a little closer to my house. It sounds like a good deal just hopping there is a field to ride in.
