Sue – How Do You Do Plateau?
Yep, we've plateau'd. Of course that's not a real word. Sue has spent her first week at the boarding stable, called "For the Horse" Ranch. A small amount of her fear came back and I spent two riding nights with her completely on the ground. I managed to ride her the third night. After a couple laps around the arena, we stopped and I breathed again. That fear is there waiting.... We had two clinics on Saturday. One was with Jenny Vaught in the am and the other one was…
Sue – How Do YOu Do with an Uncoordinated Clod of a Rider?
My personal life got in the way again of riding and time has passed. I also haven't reported on the great rides Sue and I've had in the Monday nite lessons...She knows the other horses now and is very relaxed.

One of them is standing still. The other one is zipping around. I decide today is the new…
Sue – How do You Like Meeting Suzy and Riding with Velvet?
Suzy came up to visit. She has passed the old level 2 and is a RIDER! I gave her Velvet and we rode early in the hot morning. We rode in the arena and did some fun things. Then we rode outside.

We crossed the gravel road and rode past the neighbor's horse pasture. All good and quiet.…
Sue – How Do You Do in Arena Chaos?
The arena was filled with horses. One horse and "new to us" rider didn't even know we were fearful. She was new. We rode in an organized chaos. We all rode in a straight line somewhere and first stopped and did hindquarter perfect turns. Then we trotted, stopped and did our hindquarter perfect turns. After we did that for a while, we started at the walk again and did perfect forequarter turns...and then again at a trot. How do you think Sue did with horses going every which way? She was…
Sue – How Do YOu Do at A Horse Show Play Day?
The Arabian association is having a horse show tomorrow at Longview Horse Park. They decided to open the park today and let potential show people and trail riders come and enjoy Saturday at the park! I board with a lot of Arabian owners who love to show. I found out last week that "we were going". So, I decided that this would be a great adventure for Sue. We could ride outside the arena and see how things went. Well, phooey on riding outside the arena. Sue and I arrived…
