A Horse's View Of The World

I find horses so fascinating and they are often smarter than we realize. I have boarded in very large commercial stables, and one can walk down the aisle and it is obvious that all those horses have unique personalities, different expressions on the their faces and, like people, their eyes tell alot. It is with this in mind that my blog will often be from a horses point of view, at least as I see it.

SHE'S BAAAACCCKKK! WITH SIDE REINS AND THE OLD BIT.

She got here bright and early. Really businesslike - no pats, not many words. Took me away from my breakfast, tacked me up, put on the sidereins and said JANGO, I WILL GIVE YOU ONE SMALL BREAK, I WILL SET THE SIDE REINS A LITTLE LONGER - I WILL PUT THEM ON HOLE 5 INSTEAD OF 3 - THAT'S 2 EXTRA INCHES. NOW SHAPE UP. I did shape up - longed like an angel. She got what she wanted out of me in a hurry - then she got on me - great trot work - 20 meter circles, all around the arena nice and steady (even the scary dark end)really forward. Changed directions by riding the diagonals - I did good. She was happy and so was I. Lessons were firmed up -I will start this Wednesday, at 12:00. I've had it, I'd better be good or it will get really tough.
