I think it makes you more aware of what a privilege it is to be able to ride and own a horse.samanthaholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082894789276472602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-5018814552022232352009-06-04T14:23:01.568-06:002009-06-04T14:23:01.568-06:00Where's she located?

I am the new owner of a green-broke 8 year old Morgan mare. She doesn't really know much other than "walk" and "whoa" and sometimes "trot." She's sweet and willing, but I am not sure that I am good enough to finish her myself. I've been riding all my life, but I know that there is always more that I need to learn. She doesn't know how to canter, let alone her leads. She doesn't know anything about moving in frame. She was a halter horse in her younger years, so she parks out, can trot high, and is beautiful to look at. Despite that, I've never finished a horse by myself, and I have a lot of doubts. I've always had a trainer looking over my shoulder and giving me advice. I guess my question is, what would you suggest I do? I thought I ought to start on walk/trot and circles/serpentines/etc while riding and walk/trot/canter on the lunge line with side reins to help her start working in frame. But I don't really know. If you want to, you can email me, because I'm sure there isn't an easy answer.<br />Thanks, LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261473772327531581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-72419736539050662009-06-03T22:55:21.318-06:002009-06-03T22:55:21.318-06:00I love this story.

I can really empathize with Bambi, being in something of the same position now and having had the same yearning to ride the 'bad' horses when I was younger (I chalk that up to having a poor sense of self-preservation, but then again, what teenager does?).<br />Love it!Wormwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163275366413328768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-38831338349173203692009-06-03T20:07:39.930-06:002009-06-03T20:07:39.930-06:00Awesome story!
