I'm going to have my trainer (who also adjusts ponies!) check her over just in case. We also re-checked saddle fit etc.<br />Sarah- Thank you! The pony hasn't been easy but boy have I been learning a lot.<br />Carol- Thank you! Changing my outlook definitely helps me keep more positive about things.Mona Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077277801514781079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-27996590809704858452011-11-23T08:16:47.517-08:002011-11-23T08:16:47.517-08:00Thanks for following my blog!

When my fear gets too broadly based, I think it is a type of depression (seeing everything in a negative, threatening light) and I try to treat it as such. <br />Sounds like you are doing great work with your horse and knowing the committment you put into it makes it even more impressive.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-12766107153324662712011-11-21T16:11:54.257-08:002011-11-21T16:11:54.257-08:00I totally wanted to comment last post but blogger ...I totally wanted to comment last post but blogger was being a jerk. I think you are so brave for putting it all out there-riding is NOT that easy for so many of us, but we keep doing it because the rewards are so great. Pretty soon you start getting "rewarded" by enough good rides, and enough progress, and it gets easier and easier until you are anxious to GET to the barn:) Princess does not sound like an easy pony, so I give you tons of credit for sticking with her and taking lessons. I bet you will be shocked and happy at where you two are a year from now:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941830352879493498.post-9295007072693831092011-11-21T15:16:50.639-08:002011-11-21T15:16:50.639-08:00Good progress in small steps.
