Hey Kim sounds fun. They really do need to make a saddle that works like a harness. Western saddles are I think twice as hard to take on and offf. Shelly ... ...
Kim & Shelly, Nice Picture. I am glad Tim did not snap it when you were working on the other end!!!! I am glad that you enjoyed the grooming part of the...
Hi Cindy, Since you are the first to ask, would you like to coordinate it?? I was thinking about that today and realized I had not asked for any contributions...
Pam, Sure, I'd be happy to do that. How about if I get started by making up a paper to send home with riders and volunteers, asking for contributions for the...
He did take one while I was working on Misty's flanks, and you can see the cowlick at the top of her tail LOL. I'm sure the horses love to be dirty, just like...
Hi Cindy, THANKS! A notice to all is great too. I put a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board at the barn. You can direct people to sign up there or contact...
Hi Pam & Cindy, I too have signed up to bring "Jellies" for the bake sale. I might be able to get Darlena to make some of her great muffins too. Now you have...

Cindy, Is Marissa monitoring this site also? If so, I would like her to start writing about her riding lesson each week like Kim is doing. She does not have...
I contacted Cindy off list about the bake sale. I know about touching the horse when going around her sides or back. that's where the horses' blind spots are....
qBoohoo! the session is over. No riding until mid january. I was relaxed and loose today and feeling very orientted. It was the same last week. Before both...
Hi Shelly, I assume your program changes riders every 6 or 8 weeks and that is why you will not ride until January. Some centers set up that way so they can...
Hey Pam, my preivious instructor wasn't saying to keep my legs stiff just stretched out but relaxed. There was still a bend to my knees. My lower calf stayed...
Hi Shelly, Thanks for the clarification on your leg position. Horses are just like people, all different! We need to find the niche with each one. Your...
I haven't had a chance to write about my riding lesson yesterday. Gosh it was freezing out there, with the wind blowing. Hubby and Rufus hid out in the car to ...

My riding lesson today was certainly different then my previous ones. I had a good scare, broke down crying, then got myself back together and worked at it ...
Hey Kim, i'm surprised you hadn't learned the leg cues. I mean that's a big part of riding. That's not a being critical I just find it interesting. Therapy...
Thanks Shelly. I forgot to mention that there are two other blind riders in my class, but they are a lot younger then me. I think class yesterday had two ...
This article is about one of the riders at Harmony. It sounds like the reporter really twisted Vanessa's words. Here it is: Last month, as Gov. Jeb Bush...
Well, uthat's a large class. At my barn we never have more than 5. But we only have 18 riders in all gee, that sounded like a first grade math problem how many...
Kim, I could hardly wait to read your interpretation of your lesson! Since most of the people reading this were not there, I do want to say, you did great! I...
Just to clarify things, the class Kim rides in normally has 6 riders. Three are blind, (by the way Kim, David is 26 yrs old), one is semi-independent and the...
Well, can I move to Florida and ride with you for the winter? grin What a nice big areena! Ours is dinky! We do have a big areena that we can use but its...
i guess I don't think of it as a large class. And we are only together for warm ups, then we spread out among the pastures and ring. Where my brother rides,...
I used to ride in a western saddle whenever I got the chance to ride, and it allowed me to slack off and slouch. I never used the saddle horn, just pretty much...
