When I was in University and saw that I have made 95% on an exam my first thoughts were 'what the heck did I miss?'"<br /><br />Man, that really resonated with me. I also have that type of personality and it can be so frustrating, especially in horse training. They keep us humble, that's for sure.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-16471112032189982182018-08-10T14:40:25.014-03:002018-08-10T14:40:25.014-03:00Day to day interactions with our horses is what ma...Day to day interactions with our horses is what makes life interesting.

I guess we all have to let go of perfection and embrace a little chaos, but it’s not easy. <br /><br />In my experience, horses act worse in the ring than on the trail. Even my farrier sugggested i would have been better off with Bee out in the wide world. But it is hard to trust in that.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-17267893713790812602018-08-08T18:40:16.715-03:002018-08-08T18:40:16.715-03:00I totally understand the spookiness as evasion.

I have found that verbally letting Ashke know when his try is the correct thing (good boy)or when I'm not going to be distracted by his antics (using the words "stay with me please" when these moments happen helps me keep my focus on what I am doing) and riding as though he hasn't done anything bad has helped him figure out that I am serious.<br /><br />Riding through it in the arena (thankfully the judge let you school) is the only way to impress upon her that spookiness increases the work and does not work as an evasion.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.com
