“Lucky Star might be ready for you to ride the next time you come down to the ranch”<\/p>\n
I was chatting with Jenny today on the phone. She threw that gold nugget into the conversation when I had paused to take a breath.<\/p>\n
What! \u00a0I repeated these exact words to her to make certain she had said them outloud. \u00a0“Yes,” she said. “Those are the words that I said.” \u00a0I repeated them again just to make certain I had all the words in order and had not left any out. \u00a0Yes, she said. That’s what I said.<\/p>\n
These are the words in my book. \u00a0I heard these same words when I started my adult journey with horses. \u00a0I was not pleased to hear these words when Sage was ready for me to ride. \u00a0Sage and I had parted company with me ending up on the cold hard ground. \u00a0I found Jenny and Pine Dell Farm. \u00a0I started taking lessons on a lesson horse. \u00a0My confidence gradually came back, but getting on Sage was a different story. I was scared to death when I heard those words.<\/p>\n
I heard these words when Velvet was ready to ride. “Velvet is ready for you to ride now.”\u00a0\u00a0By this time, I was happy to hear those words and Velvet and I took off like a rocket in astronaut heaven.<\/p>\n
After years with Velvet and Sage, I decided I needed another horse that had the athletic ability to easily do flying lead changes. \u00a0I bought JR from Bob Blackwell when he was three days old. \u00a0His sire and damn could do flying lead changes. \u00a0It takes a few years to get a three day old foal up to the point of being ridden, much less cantering and doing flying lead changes.<\/p>\n
So Jenny started JR and I got to hear those same words. \u00a0“JR is ready for you to ride now.” \u00a0JR and I took off in horse heaven and we stayed in horse heaven for about seven years. \u00a0We did get a few flying lead changes. \u00a0He’s now doing flying lead changes with another owner in my horse world. \u00a0He’s an amazing horse.<\/p>\n
With Nova I decided that she would be my dream horse.\u00a0She had to take six months off for a knee injury and then only developed after we had her treated at by a master chiropractor. \u00a0Then she and Jenny sailed off to horse show wondersJenny took her to Level 3 and showed her at the Celebration. . \u00a0After the Celebration, it was me that decided: \u00a0“Susan, Nova is ready for you to ride. She is your dream horse.”<\/p>\n
How many horses is that? \u00a0I’m hearing the magic again. \u00a0I’m going to go through the process. “Susan, Lucky Star might be ready for you to ride the next time you come down.”<\/p>\n
Yee Haw!!!<\/p>\n
