<p>Oh, I'm so sorry your trainer is going through all that pain. Is she a long-term steroid user? Unfortunately, avascular necrosis can be a result of that. Anyway, I'll send her good vibes while she's going through the surgeries and PT. I hope it all goes as well as may be!</p>
<p>And I'm sorry for the disruption it's been for you. Yes, trainers with no expertise in dressage won't help you progress much. Are there any higher-level dressage classes somewhere near you? You don't get that…</p>

<p>And I'm sorry for the disruption it's been for you. Yes, trainers with no expertise in dressage won't help you progress much. Are there any higher-level dressage classes somewhere near you? You don't get that one-on-one attention, of course, but classes may be your best alternative until your trainer is fully recuperated.</p>
<p>It's nice of her to work with you when she can. Do you like Twinkle? For me, it was always fun to ride a new horse. For competition, of course, one wants to stick with one or two horses, but sprinkling new horses in there always keeps one growing.</p>
<p>I'm doing okay. Lots of bumps in the road these last two years, but I'm chugging on so far. I hope you're well!</p>
<p>And, yeah--the weather is gruesome! Haha! Stay cool and hydrated out there. (I used to wear a cooling neck tie when I rode on really hot days. Here's a link to something like what I used to wear: <a href="https://www.hivissupply.com/evaporative-cooling-bandana-polymer.htmlgclid=CjwKCAjwtO7qBRBQEiwAl5WC21z0bUC-FBP_8tmqOp1j1k_fXzJXTFmTLVd4Yl3Lndr9Saw0dwOETBoCJjMQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">https://www.hivissupply.com/evaporative-cooling-bandana-polymer.htmlgclid=CjwKCAjwtO7qBRBQEiwAl5WC21z0bUC-FBP_8tmqOp1j1k_fXzJXTFmTLVd4Yl3Lndr9Saw0dwOETBoCJjMQAvD_BwE</a> )</p>

<p>I haven't heard any of these songs but then this has been a strange 10 months. The biggest lesson from these months has been the value that having a trainer in the correct discipline and training consistently pays off and it was never so evident in our scores at the only show we did. In training 3 test I had a 2 pt deduction because I made 4 loops instead of three! Starting in October of last year my trainer began having surgeries on her feet and hips that were necessary due to a condition…</p>

The biggest lesson from these months has been the value that having a trainer in the correct discipline and training consistently pays off and it was never so evident in our scores at the only show we did. In training 3 test I had a 2 pt deduction because I made 4 loops instead of three! Starting in October of last year my trainer began having surgeries on her feet and hips that were necessary due to a condition called avascular necrosis. Each surgery required a period of recouperation and p/t naturally. So I tried to compensate with 2 substitute trainers neither of which were very experienced in dressage. My purpose was to keep riding and practicing. It did not work out that well and she still needs 2 more surgeries which will probably take her into next year before she is really back to work.</p>
<p>On a positive note recently since she is partially ambulatory, we did 2 lessons near to her house on a new horse, Twinkle, who is a bit smaller that Maxx but has an engine like Jelly Bean and so I'm focused on achieving a 2 beat trot.... it's a work in progress</p>
<p>Hope you are well and taking care in this ridiculous weather! </p> tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2019-08-19:1991841:Comment:18520222019-08-19T07:37:43.805ZAngharadhttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Angharad

<p>I remember seeing the movie as a teenager that this was written for, but after years of reading the history of the battle I can only say that Comanche can't be held responsible for the grandiosity and ego of his owner. He obeyed and trusted and for that he almost died. As a reward he was retired.</p>
