Our story, from unrideable and dangerous to a happy partnership. Monday, November 30, 2009. Recap of January -June 2009. Double Black Diamond Horse. I'm attaching some pictures of Dave and me and Kona working with Paloma. The best thing was Kona - she has turned out to be the greatest useful all around horse!

http://palomasprogress.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-road.html
Our story, from unrideable and dangerous to a happy partnership. Sunday, February 21, 2010. This week Steve took Paloma out for a tour of the neighborhood. With help from her friends, she managed just fine. In fact, while her friend Pearl struggled with a muddy creek crossing, Paloma was kicking back and "having a cigarette.".

Paloma's Progress: Kona's Progress
http://palomasprogress.blogspot.com/2010/02/konas-progress.html
Our story, from unrideable and dangerous to a happy partnership. Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Kona got her flyng changes last night - I've been working with her for MONTHS, since our last lesson with Ellen back in May, and she finally got it! And we did it again tonight, with a bit of help from Susan on how to set her up and to use the whip to tap as I ask for the change. Kona tried to buck, which she can't do, fortunately! Piaffe and passage, here we come! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

When I rode Kona, I let Paloma go free (it was Donna's brilliant idea) and Paloma just loved it. She was happy and having fun. We are all having fun, and now I know why I ride! Taking a break at the top of a long climb. Hey these photos are fabulous! December 3, 2010 at 10:28 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Final & Eva: Back in the Saddle!
http://babyfinal.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-in-saddle.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Back in the Saddle! I'm back to riding y'all, and it feels great! I rode 4 times this past week. The first two times were just at the walk with a thick bareback pad on, and then last Sunday I rode at the walk and canter in my saddle! Last night I rode for about 30 mins., walking, trotting (posting) and cantering. It was great! That would have been terrible for him and I. I'm even thinking of maybe a show in November.Starr Vaughn perhaps. We'll see. They've taught me so much.

Paloma's Progress: Horse Soccer
http://palomasprogress.blogspot.com/2010/03/horse-soccer.html
Our story, from unrideable and dangerous to a happy partnership. Monday, March 1, 2010. The next day she was still nervous, but better, and survived the ambush by the pot belly pig without taking off for the next county. She's learning that those things just happen and she isn't going to die. At least, that's what I hope she's learning! The next few days they played horse soccer,. And Paloma's learned to ground tie!

Final & Eva: Hello Again
http://babyfinal.blogspot.com/2009/11/hello-again.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. I'm back to posting on my blog! Life is very different now than it was a year ago. Our little Izzy is just the center of our world, but I am still making time to ride Final between 4-5 days a week! People said riding would be set on the back burner once I had my baby, but nope, I knew I could balance the two. Ali watches Izzy while I spend time with my other baby. :). We also have great arena lights installed, making riding in the dark much more productive!
