Awareness of the outside world. Richfield Video: SEC18 – Academy Class 108 – Katherine Walcott. Conyers 2018. Victory pass with Whiskey & post-class interview. I don’t look or sound like a complete idiot.

Stepping Stone Farm

Driving. New horse! Three lessons with Andre.

Riding. Horse that is not Optimus! Lesson with Bubba.

Yes. Progress. Rationally, I recognize that all progress is to be celebrated. Emotionally, I am less thrilled. These are such small steps at such a low level, a level that ought to be in my rearview mirror, if not over the horizon.

Anyway.

Last week, the barn was at a show and I went up during the week for a driving lesson. If I wanted a lesson that week, that was the option. I did not show. My classes would have been over the weekend. Preferred to get our steps in & hitch Milton.

On the down side, in addition to me still being a hot mess, see above, it’s going to take a lot of horse to get me to return to the saddle seat show ring. Doubly so to drag my ass back into Academy. Aside from the small handful of shows required to keep me in the game.

On the upside, it is amazing what a dose of ego can accomplish. Bubba had been giving the littles trouble with the canter. Canter transitions? Pffft. I can do that. Hand me the horse.

Onwards!
Katherine
