What an adventure and what a wonderful horse - he is yours and WILL come home with YOU. Best of luck and just go knock 'em dead! Stick to YOUR game and don't worry too much about all the cow work stuff - Eventing is way cooler - remember it's an Olympic sport!MDuke and Dustynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686579001118099979.post-57230029079129882222011-05-31T10:51:21.803-07:002011-05-31T10:51:21.803-07:00Wow!

That could be because I was just reading yesterday about what a muddy mess everything was. I'm all caught up now. :-) What a great blog, I am really glad you have shared your experience. It's a gift.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068684611506771719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686579001118099979.post-23743645720958022552011-05-31T10:48:10.581-07:002011-05-31T10:48:10.581-07:00Don't be discouraged with what you two have ac...Don't be discouraged with what you two have accomplished. You have a horse 80 days out of the wild sweet and trusting enough to allow a newbie rider to get on and ride. That's AMAZING! <br /><br />I think some of the people worry too much about scoring well, and winning prize money. Some realize that along the way, they have found something more valuable. (Many of the folks who do win money, end up spending it to buy their horses back) <br /><br />My message to you is this.. If you love your horse and want to bring him home. Go to the event, do what you can do, show the world how special he is, but have a good time. Don't compromise what you have built, think you are failing him somehow, or not good enough to train a fabulous horse! The true beauty of these horses is inside them, it's what they will do for you because it's you who asked and not because you knew some secret trick. <br /><br />And be forewarned, horses like yours... the ones started with patience and love, with a ton of trust & try, often sell for more then the flashy sit & spin types, because plenty of people value quite highly what you have built with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
