Now, I don't envy those who make calls like this one, but I'm happy to make them myself.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-54464872778753047942016-12-27T16:03:34.661-05:002016-12-27T16:03:34.661-05:00Wow, I can't imagine dealing with that.

Of course not being able to make it to that lesson would suck since you guys are looking amazing!Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-84474336475554356182016-12-27T15:41:00.002-05:002016-12-27T15:41:00.002-05:00Haha, I won't have more from GP Trainer until ...Haha, I won't have more from GP Trainer until Feb (if the weather cooperates!). There's no way I could have hauled Saturday morning, but driving around after was fine... and the trip home would have been fine if I had waited out the accident. But I probably still would have hooked myself on the driveway, haha.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-70811748907218332652016-12-27T14:52:30.441-05:002016-12-27T14:52:30.441-05:00I LOVE your lesson reports!!

I know so it doesn't become a habit to fall apart (I did get after Penn for breaking because he was spooking at home), but otherwise, if the horse is putting out a good effort, why ruin the effort? I found everyone is less flustered at the end of the day, and Penn has actually started thinking first before getting flustered.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-90152338786120029352016-12-27T11:59:50.581-05:002016-12-27T11:59:50.581-05:00"If you feel him about to flatten out and fal..."If you feel him about to flatten out and fall, trot. Abandon ship. He is strong enough to make a good canter out of good walk or good trot. He is not strong enough to make a good canter out of a bad canter." <-- yes, yes so much this!

I packed extra days of grain so we could decide on Saturday if going home Sat or Sun would have been a better bet.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-63194681696655665582016-12-27T10:24:12.935-05:002016-12-27T10:24:12.935-05:00I feel like we still lucked out- I was able to tak...I feel like we still lucked out- I was able to take my lessons and we got home safe!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-6337482895600300652016-12-26T16:35:07.432-05:002016-12-26T16:35:07.432-05:00Those lessons sound so intense - so much good meat...Those lessons sound so intense - so much good meat in there!
