Carol, Wo...Thanks for the kind comments everyone! <br /><br />Carol, Wow - what a confidence booster! I would love to take the credit, but I think Pie has a little bit of Rogo blood in him. You know how sweet your boy is - that is my Pie too. He is scared, but he likes to take care of me too - like your Rogo.juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-63522410393204962922011-08-25T10:02:57.498-04:002011-08-25T10:02:57.498-04:00Great job with mounting. I think you're right ...Great job with mounting. I think you're right not to repeat it when he gets it right. I remember reading about Alois Podosky (sp?) being mounted on one of his horses as a helicopter landed near by, and how he could feel the horses heart racing. I thought it so impressive that the horse didn't bolt, and that it was due to his amazing talent as a trainer. Now I see you have the same ability to instill trust in your horse. I'm so impressed by this. You are doing a great job and Pie is a great horse. You have a natural talent for knowing what to do.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-3039673354194013902011-08-24T22:46:31.434-04:002011-08-24T22:46:31.434-04:00Good job Pie, but really good job Juliette!

It's not always easy to convince a horse that nothing is wrong when you yourself aren't sure what they are going to do. <br /><br />Love the photoshopped photo :) Look forward to your story about Sovey.<br /><br />It's been feeling like fall here this week, too. I love fall, so I'm good with it. My whole life I've loved this time of year through to November and even more so in the last 12 years because it brings the love of my life back to me.RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-62837794643187129532011-08-24T20:34:57.729-04:002011-08-24T20:34:57.729-04:00Good stuff.
