Today we rode with Caren and Valcore in the arena. I am so impressed with the progress Caren has made with Valcore! Hottie (mustang horse not me) was very good. It was the first time we rode with another horse in the arena and the second time we rode in the arena, not the round pen. We worked on following our nose, circling with outside leg pressure, continuous forward movement and not trying to get to Valcore for security! We walked and trotted! No problems, she still requires a lot of encouragement to keep going and of course like all green horses she leaks to the outside, but not for long! She could be a candidate at some point for spurs, not sure yet. I feel like two mules for sister sarah with my crop wacking her every three steps! Im a spur girl, not a crop/whip girl. I dont abuse my spurs I have a quiet leg and use them as an aid, not torture devices. (For the anti-spur society not interesed in hearing about your feelings, so save it please) Pictured is my National Top Ten Champion Western Pleasure Horse, Kenos Braveheart - We are at the Region One Championships in the photo where we were Champion on all 3 judges cards! I had to buy new spurs at that show because someone stole my silver engraved show spurs the day before my class. They became my lucky spurs after we won and I had them tattooed on my back so I would always have them for good luck. I carry them in my purse with me, thats how much I like my spurs!
