The best ride ever!!!!!

I had the most amazing ride on my mare, Cheyenne last night. I had a perma-grin on my face afterwards. Jen's little corrections and new techniques that she showed my the other day helped enormously. Cheyenne and I had a great time.

It's funny because so of the things she corrected me on were stupid little things but if you don't have a teacher/coach remind you then your riding technique has a tendency to slide a little especially given that I do not compete and I ride simply for the pleasure of it. This is ironic because not all my rides lately have been pleasurable on Cheyenne.

Another little insight that I had recently was thanks to a book I have been reading called Cesar's Way from Cesar Millan. He is a "Dog Whisper" and writes about understanding and correcting common dog problems. The interesting thing is I have been using it more to understand my horse more so than my two dogs. It is all about being the leader of the pack. By doing so, your animal leads a more healthier life than if you let him/her walk all over you....and trust me, once you read this book, you soon realize that in some way your animal has been the leader of pack on not you, the silly human!

I can't wait to get an update from Jen and Cody's progress (I am thinking positive!). No news is good news? I hope this is the case.
