Do Work

We are doing the work. Working hard, every day, often until there's no sunlight left to work in.


Her longe skills are coming along, this morning it was time again for a lesson with Katie where Whisper was ridiculous. Worst case possible, she was completely high.

Once I longed her and got on, she exploded and we had some rearing and spooking. Trying to get a maintained walk and for both of us to settle down, Katie says she wishes she could just longe both of us for 20 minutes to chill us out. Too bad I'm not a runner.

"These horses are mystical in their beauty; I cannot help noting how much, despite their tails, they resemble enormous deer. Every motion of their limbs is a kind of flickering, so that one blinks and expects them to vanish."  John Jeremiah Sullivan, The Bloodhorse
