LESSONS 21-26:
Lots of saddle time, lots of review and refinement has been the focus over the
last few lessons. Everything from round pen work to work under saddle has been
reviewed and some great leaps in refinement are happening! The new shoes and a
bit of a break to let the bruised hoof heal up have REALLY helped Annie feel
100% We have been doing work outside the arena and around obstacles in order to
prepare for the 2016 Spring Equestrian Retreat! The Retreat will really test
her athletic ability, her mind and expand her experiences! We hope to have
Michelle Borland of Bar SZ Ranch, Susan Wirgler of Wirgler’s Horse Humann Partnership
and Denise Vietz of California Natural Horsemanship play with Annie over the
long weekend! Since Laurie and I run this event we know it is going to be tough
to get saddle time with all of our horses so having these great professionals
offer to help out a bit will be awesome!
We are just three days away from the Retreat and will be in
final crunch mode to get everything ready. Of course we get RAIN over the
weekend and today so that really puts a crimp in our training time. Still
everyone is getting LOTS of love and LOTS of short training sessions as we make
breaks happen. The next part of this blog will be a “Retreat Journal” of sorts
which will highlight Annie and our other horses as well as all the REALLY COOL
activities we will have going on! Stay tuned!
