I love the challenging horse who makes you work- it makes it that much more rewarding when you make it to the other side.<br /><br />Right now, my trainer and I are celebrating that it takes me 1/8-1/4 of the ring to collect my mare after a jump instead of 1-2 laps around the ring like last year. The challenging ones have a lot to offer; you just have to smile and laugh (because otherwise, I would cry or drink my feelings, let's be real).

We are slowly adding more but it is boring as hell. We have days where he flips me the bird. His flipping the bird means prancing in place instead of exiting the stage like Courage does. Either way it is frustrating. But I wouldn't trade him for another horse. Hang in there because at least you get quality memes out of it... ;)EventingSaddlebredStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610596082916022402noreply@blogger.com
