WHAT A WONDERFUL START OF A WEEK. DRILL TEAM IS LOOKING AWESOME, OPEN RIDING IS GOING VERY WELL, I PURCHASED A TIMBERLINE DRESSAGE SADDLE AND BELLA IS DOING TERRIFIC. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE HAY IS BEAUTIFUL AND FINALLY GETTING OFF THE FIELD, BUT I HAVE ONE TIRED HARDWORKING HUSBAND. I LOVE HIM SOOOOO MUCH:-) I TOOK BELLA FOR HER FIRST TRAILRIDE TODAY AROUND THE PROPERTY AND I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED HER TO DO BETTER. THE ONLY THING SHE LOOKED AT REALLY HARD WAS THE TRACTOR AND BALER, BUT SHE SURVIVED. AFTER THE TRAILRIDE WE WENT IN THE OUTDOOR AND WORKED ON HER TROTTING WHICH SHE IS DOING QUIT WELL. I AM VERY PROUD OF HER. AS FOR MISS FLICKA SHE IS WAITING FOR THE VET TO HAVE HER TEETH CHECKED OUT SHE IS HAVING PROBLEMS EATING AND THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN HER HATRED FOR BIT PRESSURE. I HOPE. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT LESSON WHICH IS ON MON IF ALL GOES WELL. REBEL AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD AND WE ARE IMPROVING, BABY STEPS. I GUESS BABY STEPS ARE BETTER THAN GOING BACKWARDS.
