I absolutely promise to post about Equine Affaire and our experience there. I just need to get up the energy to do so...there is ALOT to write about. We have a ton of pictures too as Carla, Brenda and I were all in clinics. I took a bunch of pictures trying to figure out which settings on my new camera are the best for that type of thing. Lots of pics came out blurry and some came out with weird lighting. There are good ones too. So please be patient...I want to be sure and hit all the details.
The weather is finally getting decent around here. We had a spell of good weather a few weeks ago and then it got cold and miserable again. Typical Ohio in April.
Rio is shedding her winter fuzzies very nicely. She was excellent at EA--she is an old pro by now. We had another lesson with Terry Myers on Monday. I have to say I think that some things are starting to come together. We work alot on circles and such and I just could not figure out what that was doing for my riding. On Monday we did alot more and really saw results as Rio got softer and more collected. At the end of the lesson we worked on it briefly in a canter...way more work needed there but at least I get the gist of it now.
We are going to try and bring the horses home this week if we can. The weather is supposed to be nice through the weekend and then a week of rain next week.
The website calendar is really filling up. It finally seems as if I am getting more hits to the site. This is great as people are sending me their showbills to post. I am almost completely done with the integrated trail map. I can't wait to put this on the site. It has all the public trails (county metroparks, state and national parks and forests) on one map. You can click on the map to get directions. I think it is going to be VERY useful for our riding this summer.
Back to work for now.
