A frnied of mine rides in that Troxel Cheyenne. She’s a lifelong western rider and had never worn a helmet until very recently, but she actually really likes the look of the Cheyenne, so it’s a win all around. Of course, at age four, your son is going to outgrow whatever you get for him in about five seconds, isn’t he? I know the rule book states that any rider in any division can wear a helmet without penalty. I think a lot of saddle seat and western riders think that judges will still penalize them (maybe subconsciously). I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I would think you could plop a schooling helmet on your leadliner in any seat and the judge wouldn’t hold it against you. They might even appreciate that you put safety first. I’d be curious to hear a judge’s feedback on this one.

Very Good blog indeed. *Make sure to get side tracked come 2012 elections and hold a debate on your page. Don’t worry Ill be getting fox berry pumped up for elections. Meanwhile I went out and brought a new car *last one wasnt working out. Also I got a new job that allows me to work less and make more (better restaurant) Even though this month sucks because I went out and started all this at once so money is tight because Im in training and my schedules are adjusting and I am paying for all the down payments and deposits with the car loans I have fixed my issues (Car and Time) so you will be seeing me at the farm more this year. This year of elections. So really whether you want it or not we both know there will be a debate might as well embrace it. Ive been there at night (like 2am lol) working with gam he’s almost ready. Hell be ready before my wallet he’s got about 3 weeks my wallet needs 4. Then its time to get started. So this year is gams comeback and that involves you which involves me communicating with you frequently which …lol involves arguing politics. So embrace the debate its coming lol.

Befriending a horse is not Jessie’s only talent! Being able to express one’s feelings in a letter is worthy of great writers and journalists! Keep on writing–you have a great career ahead of you!

Thank you Shannon for such a kind response. I always enjoy your blog and wish more horse lovers such as yourself would share their experiences as well. My candor is not always appreciated but I’m hoping to cover some areas in the discipline that need honest discussion. Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. I think it’s going to be a great year.

J- the love and training you put on that horse changed her from a hardly ridable, frightened horse to an athletic, spunky, and enjoyable friend for her new owner. It was unfortunate that due to unforeseen circumstances Carmen’s owner was forced to sell her. She was kind to give you the opportunity to love Carmen and hopefully the trust and friendship you developed with her will make her life with her new owner one of kindness and understanding.

Here we are a year later, Carmen has since been sold, but I still have the wonderful person that shared all the experiences with me (:

I’m glad to see you back!

I will fully admit that I avoid writing about some subjects for the exact reasons you have stated. I also don’t think my blog posts are going to change anyone’s mind on the hot button issues, since I’m pretty much a Nobody! So, I write about my relationship with my horse because it’s cathartic to me and I enjoy it.

I will say that I have a great deal of respect for the trainers who put themselves out there and speak up about the issues, though. The issues effecting our sport right now are not simply black and white, especially for the pros. It takes guts to put yourself out there.

The real proof of what a trainer can do is in the students and horses they make better, not in their ability to write. You’ve got that lovely letter as proof that you can do that, so write away…

I love the letter.
It is about the horse and I love having a trainer that knows that. Thank you….

Hi Ronna!!

My roommate “thebirdhousechick” read me a note that you sent her and we both loved it and laughed as you sound just like us!! Let me know if you get a blog going and I will keep up with it! Stay in touch- Suzanne

Just found your blog, so this honor has already passed and I am sure went wonderfully! When you wrote being nervous about it, it reminded me of something someone said to me years ago. If you make a change and you don’t feel like you are in over your head-then you are just moving sideways. Or something to that effect.
