Sunday Funday

Another Sunday has come and gone.
Hollie's back!
Hooray!
But unfortunately, Kandee has gone.
Oh well! :)
Today I didn't ride, but I did see several lessons. Some riders were really good, but hypocritically I seemed to judge everybody. Not that I can really judge as I have little experience and little expertise.
Last week, a really truly brilliant new client came and rode one of the most unbalanced, weird little ponies ever in a truly wonderful fashion. Tons better than me, even though I like to think I can ride her a little better than most people. I am talking, of course, about Tess.
It's only once in a while I get to see a really great rider at work.
It's so fun :P
I've decided on my horses for the future -
- Eden Smarts (Grey Irish Hunter X Thoroughbred stallion)
- Golden Glory (Dun thoroughbred mare(Smart's wife))
- Jimmy's Call (Chestnut Thoroughbred X Irish Hunter stallion)
- Glory's Hope and Glory's Joy (two pure white thorougbredXirish hunter twins)
Jimmy and Hope and Joy will all be sons and daughters of Glor and Smarts.

Yep, it never hurts to dream.
But today I had a (sort of) epiphany. I realised, while working with Sienna in her box, that most of the horses at the riding school respond only to food. Seeing as nobody really has the chance to truly bond with them, they have learnt to be slightly dead to a friendly human. So when I'm older and bigger and cleverer and more experienced, I'm going to buy a foal. A foal who has just been weaned. And I will work with the foal and try and try and TRY to form some kind of link not created through bribes or violence.
Something like Parelli or Whispering.

Of course I know I will have to spend about 11 hours a day with horses and the other 1 hour reading about them, or watching informative dvds.

If I do this. I will be a happy person forever.
See you soon.
