It’s been two months since I wrote about Rodney, Milton, and the happenings at home [Summer Suffering]. Within that time period, I have posted on four saddleseat shows, many lessons, and endless saddle seat theory. What’s up with that? IF we ignore the screamy voices in my head and IF we ignore that fact theContinue reading “Meanwhile Back at the Ranch. Or Not”

Giving Myself Permission
Went for a lesson earlier this week. It was, in technical terms, hotter than three hells. I also had a mild headache, an intermittent stomachache, and an all-over malaise.

Lessons from a Show
The promised theory post [Taking A Short Break]. Intensity I had excellent odds in the adult classes of the Northeast Georgia Charity show [Report]. However, that would not be the case in the all-ages championship (it was later changed to an adult championship). My plan was to override the first classes to set me upContinue reading “Lessons from a Show”
