With warm water and a solarium I would probably bathe him for often, but ouch that gets expensive! I take forever to bathe a horse!<br /><br />I'm glad you're getting lessons again! Is there any way to video tape the lessons so you can review them later? I have a tough time remembering everything too. It's like as soon as I dismount everything just disappears hehe.

Try as we might, we can't always check that at the arena entrance. Personally I don't think perfection is possible in any aspect of life & to have perfection as an end goal is to end up disappointed (in my very personal & lazy opinion that is). There is always something new to learn, something that can be improved upon ... so nope, I don't think there has been a lesson in the history of lessons where the trainer has stayed quite due to witnessing perfection ;-)<br /><br />I don't know if they are lucky to have me, but i am deff uber lucky to have them!Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-53594154833494677922014-11-05T04:53:36.771+01:002014-11-05T04:53:36.771+01:00I love the pictures!

Or even just one or two things? Sorry, for some reason I started thinking about that while I was reading this and am honestly curious if it's even possible... Anyway, it sounds like you had two very productive lessons! I'm glad that you're taking so much away from them :) Also, Nancy and Kika are very lucky to have a great owner like you! You take very good care of them, lucky girls!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560432669562291616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-18007657552669390812014-11-04T23:53:08.865+01:002014-11-04T23:53:08.865+01:00I would love to fix me for better horses.
