A Calm and Happy Mare
Newsflash!!!!
I can now say that we are on the road going forwards! Yay. When I last left you I was about to compete in a dressage competition. We managed to score 75% and landed ourselves 2nd place. I can not begin to explain how ecstatically happy that made me. Hard work and learing to understand your horse can really pay off. We retunred to the same dressage venue two weeks later (last week) and scored another fanstatic 2nd place. Things really are on the up! Happy days 
Yesturday we managed to complete a 9 mile fun ride without throwing any major strops. She pretty much led the whole way round which 4 weeks ago would have been only a dream. I am finally enjoying my horse for the first time in 2 years. I truelly love her, despite all the ups and downs because now the rewards are beyond belief.
The aim is now to cure her from her fear of leaving other horses all together and get her leaving the start box on the cross country without getting upset. I now feel that this is possible. We have another fun ride this weekend which will build her confidence and hopefully we will be flying round eventing courses before the summer out.
Anything is possible….maybe more now than ever before!
