Last of October.

Melinda was here for a long weekend and we hunted at Redlands on Tuesday morning. Thunder Cat's first time out with the hounds and he was great.

We have Leslie's show this weekend and Destiny is taking Stormy (Sterling Mark). Her first show and she is excited!


As riders worked this week we had some real 'ah hah" moments where they discovered that it is easier to use your core and push your shoulders back as you come to a corner to keep your horse from drifting out. First your eye, then your leg, and that can also mean using your upper body to negotiate those turns. Using your upper body can help slow your horse down as well because you are changing the weight that he is carrying. No need to muscle him if you know how to finesse him.
