Also, attend clinics periodically to brush up and have an eye on the ground. Also-if you can have someone video tape you when you ride that helps because you will be able to see what you're doing the you don't feel as your riding. It stinks but it isn't the end of the world.Dawsonfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027540248141972742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862854453947451896.post-37691100789511830332009-03-28T14:15:00.000-07:002009-03-28T14:15:00.000-07:00Sorry about your trainer.

That way she can give you lessons but doesn't have to see the BO.Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652933884652697666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862854453947451896.post-85383845117264802172009-03-27T16:08:00.000-07:002009-03-27T16:08:00.000-07:00I am feeling your pain...practice a couple of my f...I am feeling your pain...practice a couple of my favorite sayings...repeat over and over "and this too shall pass"... that's the only bible quote I know... and when that gets too much "better days are coming."

She's on bad terms with the owner right now, though, so it'll probably be a while.Psychotic Raccoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460874787936514679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862854453947451896.post-28586833716194087942009-03-27T09:18:00.000-07:002009-03-27T09:18:00.000-07:00Ugh, I'm so sorry.

We horse people are so crazy, and I know how hard it can be to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>There's no chance at all that she'd consider coming out once a week or something to do lessons? Just for you? Or are there any trainers who would consider traveling to your barn once a week? <BR/><BR/>Again, sorry - I wish I had more help to give!Ambihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463404002449160117noreply@blogger.com
