Leo and I are doing well
know I know…I did it again, sorry guys!!!
Today was a good day! We had a WHOLE DAY lecture from two representatives
and practitioners of the Masterson Method. Wow it was relay cool!
The Masterson Method is a way of massage that works with the
horse through GENTLE touch, allowing them to release tension. It relay builds
the bond between you and horse, and I could tell a big different in Leo when I hit
spots that were tight, and then after he replaced them. The cool part was that
sometimes you did not even need to touch the horse! I relay enjoyed it and will
defiantly use the techniques I learn!
On Sunday, we went to Catharine Haddad’s farm to watch her
training day. It was an incredible learning experience! She is a talented rider/trainer
that has competed at GP both nationally and international. She showed us 8
horses, all at different levels of training, and talked us through what would
be a typical training day for them and why they each did what she had them
doing. She also talked to us about one of her past grand prix horses, Cadillac
who was as spooky and unforced as could be, and what she said gave me some
ideas for Leo! I relay enjoyed seeing yet another side of the dressage world. One
of my favorite things that I took away from seeing her ride, was the pure joy
on her face as she rode, it was inspiring to see that even at that leave, with that
amount of time in the saddle simply riding her horse still make her grin!! I love
it!
Oh, and a little on my personal workouts….I joined a gym ( first
time ‘yall….) so I’m going to be doing some class ! It will be my “therapy” away
from the barn! I’m existed!
I also saw today that there are some national shows at Global
in March….should I shoot for one!!!!!??????
Oh! And I FINLY laid out in the FL sun on Monday!!! Ya working
on my tan!
Alrighty….night all!
