I've mentioned this once or twice over the last week, but Speedy and I will be gone this weekend to participate in yet another Christian Schacht clinic. When we rode with him in December, Speedy was really fussy on the first day, and I felt a little disappointed that we weren't able to show off our improvement.  December 2014 - no stirrups For this trip, I am going to start out feeling a lot more humble and a lot less eager to show what we've learned. If our canter work really has improved, Christian will be able to tell. If my position really has gotten better, again, he should be able to see it. I won't need to tell him. If you're anywhere in the Ventura area this weekend, come on out to audit, or better yet, come and ride! The first ride begins at 10:00 on Saturday; I ride at 12:00. On Sunday, I ride at 10:30. The weather is predicted to be rainy, but White Birch has a large covered arena so even the auditors should stay dry.  Clinic Schedule

I did! I read many blogs, yours of course, but I am the worst at commenting. I am usually reading while I eat or cook which means my hands are full. Your blog is one of my favorites. :0) Comments are closed.
