Jewel, thoroughbred, training

3 Years Later…

Well, its been almost three years since I posted in this blog.  What have I been up to you might ask?  Having kids!  Its amazing how much time they take up.  I had a little girl in October of 2011, followed quickly by a little boy in February of 2013.  And its taken this long to determine a “new normal” that allows me some riding time.  My days of riding horses freshly from the track are on hold for a while.  But, I still have my 16 year old dance partner, Jewel.  She and I have rededicated ourselves (well…me more so than her) to a regular lesson program and have made some big improvements in the last few months.  Here is a pic from last Sunday of her working in the round pen.  Its part of our regular warm-up.
