Rides on Hooves and Wheels | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/rides-on-hooves-and-wheels
Chasing a life in the high desert. Rides on Hooves and Wheels. Another busy week, but Zeke and I managed to get a few rides in. Right now it’s a lot of the same – we’re working on giving to pressure, both from legs and hands. We’re getting use to riding with others in the arena. And we’re pushing through those times when Zeke thinks he should be done, or he’s bored, or he just doesn’t wanna! Looking forward to more saddle time this coming week! Posted in Desert Life.

September | 2012 | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/09
Chasing a life in the high desert. Archive for the month “September, 2012”. See You In September…. Yes, I know it’s already September. In fact, September’s about half gone, and this is my first post since, what, July? Well, at least I can happily say that I have been too busy riding to take time out for sitting at the computer; which I guess is a decent enough excuse, considering! So Zeke and I have definitely been busy! Is holding a schooling show right here at Yucca Valley Equestrian Center. Zeke and I...

May | 2012 | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/05
Chasing a life in the high desert. Archive for the month “May, 2012”. Coming Home, Meeting Friends, Getting Out. All sorts of fun this week! Zeke had his two days off, then Tuesday afternoon we did a short review ride, which went very well and let me know it’s time to get out of the small roundpen! We can’t do much in there, and since he’s behaving well, and has learned some about steering, it’s time for bigger places to ride. A little game of chase ensued, followed by rough-housing! The rail – thi...

Chasing a life in the high desert. Yes, it finally happened, the first ride. And it was great! I took tons of photos, you can find them in several sections at my photo site in the Horse Images section: http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/deserttrailrider/collections/. Cristina, Claire, Cindy B., Jan, Alyce and Ryan, and Kristen and Nathan all came to watch, and of course Cindy was on hand to make sure I did everything correctly! Claire got some pictures as we got ready and rode. Heheh – he didn’t ge...So we beg...

Back To The Future | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/back-to-the-future
Chasing a life in the high desert. Back To The Future. Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to go backwards to the last thing you did really well, get solid again, and move on. Of course, that advice was for me this week, not for Zeke! Zeke kept on doing what he does, but because I I wasn’t effective at really applying my aids to correct him, we went back to the last place I felt really solid – the small roundpen. There’s a full set of these fun photos on my Flickr page, at http:/ www.f...Address...

November | 2012 | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/11
Chasing a life in the high desert. Archive for the month “November, 2012”. November 3rd, 2012, the MBHA. Held a little local show at our ranch. So that seemed like the perfect opportunity for Zeke to be in his first show! He’s been doing wonderfully in our riding, and the day before the show I gave him his first soap bath. He didn’t mind at all, though his winter coat is coming in so it took a while to get him dry! I polished up our tack, including the nice new bridle he got last month, and we were ready.

April | 2012 | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/04
Chasing a life in the high desert. Archive for the month “April, 2012”. Well, okay, new feet anyhow! Zeke got his very first hoof trim this week. But first things first. He ran like a maniac, dragging his ropes, so I picked up the lunge whip and encouraged him to keep going when he tried to rest. If he was going to run free, I was at least going to make it. Like it was my idea! When I let him stop, he let me catch him, and we went straight back to work. Once there, I drove him to the right for another 15...

Like a Roller Coaster | Another Windy Day
https://anotherwindyday.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/like-a-roller-coaster
Chasing a life in the high desert. Like a Roller Coaster. That’s the stage we’re in, Zeke and I. The roller coaster stage. We go up, we go down, and all of it is pretty thrilling. We’re still just working on putting on the miles, riding as often as we can just to develop experience. Of course my schedule is not ideal, sometimes I have gaps of two days or more between riding days, but I try to avoid that. Highlights from this week include Saturday and Wednesday; low points, probably Tuesday. And he did, t...
