Adventures In and Out of the Dressage Saddle. May 11, 2013. 8230;talent means nothing, while experience, acquired in humility and with hard work, means everything. Patrick Suskind.

Adventures In and Out of the Dressage Saddle. Bad Day Turned Good. March 4, 2013. A bad day is only as bad as you let it be. Have you ever had one of those days that everything just seemed to fall apart? So what happened exactly? Let’s start at the beginning. Being a college student sometimes gets a little hectic, and this past week (Feb. 25-28) has been crazy! So no lesson in the arena? Ok, no problem, we decided we could work around that and do a ground manners lesson in the barn. Off to the barn!

Adventures In and Out of the Dressage Saddle. Running the Race, One Step at a Time. February 16, 2013. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other. I am now a complete country girl because I have learned to drive a tractor! Driving that tractor was so fun! I gained a bit more independence! I also gained a muddy boot from stepping in a pile ofwell anyways. Just remember, keep your chin up, your leg on, and stay on the bit. Bad Day Turned Good →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
