Thanks for all your kind words yesterday. Dressage can be a very humbling endeavor. Heeding your advice, I took a moment to reflect, relax, and simply enjoy being with my horses without the pressure of learning, improving, or succeeding. Here's what my Friday afternoon looked liked. 
Playing in the grass with my dog.
Listening to the ch ... ch ... ch of the sprinklers ...
Watching Speedy G play in the arena as he avoids the sprinklers. One of the barn ponies LOVES to stand in the sprinklers. Not Speedy, he's certain they spew a toxic concoction!
Moving to a new shady spot to avoid the flies and then watching Marty and Bailey enjoy their own afternoon.
All done while sipping something refreshing!

I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
