A person on you-tube came across Ike's videos and was incredibly sweet to post one of them (the 57 day one) as an inspirational piece on a community board. She has a new little 6 month old fell (reminds me of the little guy I had the oppurtunity to take, but I'm SUPER happy I went with Ike.)She suggested I look into horse agility as it seemed/seems to dovetail seamlessly (her words-I liked them. :)into what I'm doing. I have to admit she's absolutely right and it looks super fun for horse and human alike. I'll be looking into dues more when I actually have some cash flow I could steer towards that. For now, I'm happy doing sessions and building on what he knows. The funniest thing happened today. I had Amocean going on a circle at liberty and Ike started going in the opposite direction on a circle without being asked and they both bumped heads. Hahaha. It sounded pretty nasty and I felt bad for both of them, but man was it funny! :p I feel evil for saying that. Great session and Amocean is really becoming animated in some of his forward movement. It's absolutely gorgeous coming from him. :) As usual, I'm just incredibly privileged to have the boys I do. Thank you Ron for enabling me to keep such incredible guys❤ thank you to every person that's been kind enough to take the time to help me learn and gain from your knowledge and experience. I hope I can in some way however small- make life better for the partners that make it all possible. :)
For any of you reading who have made accomplishments with horses, please take the time to encourage newer individuals who are keen to make improvements. You have no idea how appreciated your words and actions are to them. I know from experience it means the world to be commended for effort (even if a person is lacking in technique or doing things differently than is considered norm.)
There is no one right way to obtain the result your after with a horse. We are ALL entitled to our own opinions about how to make progress and what works for us and the individual horses in our lives.
..... The End. :)
