I think it is high time you can say this! No ones issues will ever be completely gone we are all a work in progress. But you did a BN XC no problem. You and Cuna did it!!! I think it was proven that you have no reason to fear cross country anymore, you guys did it! My one word of advice though would be don't get in a hurry to rush through levels. Get good at BN before you jump into Novice. Not that you can't jump Novice height, shoot Steady and I jump training like it is nothing but for events we did BN. I think it is better to build that foundation slowly and solid than to have a bunch of mistakes from moving up to quickly. I read something today and thoguht of you.<br />"The worst impediment to expanding your comfort zone and ramping up that Loin hiding inside you? ("Oz never did give anything to the Tin Man that he didn't already posses") The biggest, worst impediment is a hot or though or unsuitable horse!!! Get one you can ride without feeling your toes and fingers clench!! The is my absolute BEST ADVICE." (75 year old Walt, on a good horse)<br /><br />I think you have done just that and the lion has emerged! I couldn't be happier for you and for Cuna to have a confident rider. I think with that you two can go far.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472219069662152722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-63644371462137767412012-07-02T21:30:54.371-06:002012-07-02T21:30:54.371-06:00Too cool!!

There was a relatively steep hill going down into a good sized straw bale jump at the bottom. I figured I'd trot down. My Russell had entirely other plans. We did the hill at a full gallop jumped out and went on his merry way (not mine). Like Cuna, he knew his job far better than I did. That's the sheer joy of a really "made" horse! <br /><br />Congrats on one fabulous performance.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-16692273869958467162012-07-02T19:40:17.730-06:002012-07-02T19:40:17.730-06:00Psh, dressage.
