Saddle Seat Wednesday I had another long ponderment planned to build on last week’s discussion of my deteriorating saddle seat position [Back To Kindergarten]. I find myself without enthusiasm for the thinking. Short version. 1) The position is unfamiliar, which makes me insecure. When things go well, I can cope.

Greg and the Ladies
Driving Thursday Greg had driving lessons both days last weekend. Saturday: saddle seat with Posh. I was kibitzing observing, so no photo [Photo Fail]. Sunday: combined driving with Bliss. Both were as good as I’ve seen him drive in either style. I’ve always thought he would be a great driver. The only question I haveContinue reading “Greg and the Ladies”

Styling, Or Not

Now I’m thinking that saddle seat has more in common with hunters. And that’s not a good thing for me. In jumpers, cross-country, and show jumping (phase 3 of eventing), theContinue reading “Styling, Or Not”

Driving Thursday W is for The Wonderful Mr. Whizbang. If you are joining me from Blogging A To Z, welcome! Since the blog is already daily, with topics for each day [About: Schedule], there is no specific A To Z theme. I may even skip a few letters. Gasp. Clutch the pearls.
