Star....10/21/10

10/21/10

Star's owner came out today and watched me ride.  Worked on stops and lateral movement.  Star still gets pretty nervous over pressure to her right side, but is way better than when we started.  I'd like to think that her owner liked the progress, but our conversation was on how much of a commitment Star is going to take.  If you let her have more than a couple days off, she is regresses a little.

Anytime you have a horse, you should decide how committed you are going to be.  If you are a weekend warrrior (nothing wrong with that) you will need a different kind of horse than the person who is riding 3-5 days per week.  Star's owner has decided she is more of a weekend warrior with too much going on to commit to the time Star is going to need.  Star is a really nice mare with ALOT of potential to do some really neat things, so if you know of anyone who is interested....contact me.  I plan on putting a video (hopefully, tech challenged ya'know) out here for people to see.

She has been alot of fun to ride and is a really nice mare!
