Hello

So this is my first blog. Yay. I think having somewhere to write(type) what I'm thinking will be good, and help my track my progress with the horses and with myself.
Speaking of horses, this is where I stand with them right now:

Okie- Starting some lv.2 ground skills, sideways without fence and change of directions and transistions online. He's coming along really nicely after his winter off due to lameness. Once the weather clears up for good, I'm going to start him on a conditioning program of some kind. I'm hoping to this summer work something out with Angie so I can board Okie there and work off board. That way, I'd be able to ride him everyday in the arena that has good footing.

Belle- oh, my little problem child. Belle is definitly my "allure" right now. She is a huge LBE that is also really sensitive and the combo of that makes her rather difficult at times. Once our arena gets done (should be within a couple of weeks) I'm going to start playing more with saddling, mounting and short riding sessions to build up my confidence. I think Belle is going to be a super horse, she can be a super horse, it's just my confidence and lack of stick-to-it-ness that holds me back.

Horse searching- ..is not fun. I haven't had any serious leads yet. I've seen a couple horses that I liked, but they weren't exactly what I want/need. There was one horse that we totally would have bought if he had been certain about his age and didn't have a "diet problem". I used to love searching dreamhorse and now I'm not liking it as much anymore. Its old after awhile.
