Glad that will never happen again - you are there for Val and will keep him from unnecessary stress like that!<br /><br />Sounds like you had great rides. Keep it up - enjoy that pony! He is just adorable cantering up from one end of the arena to you and also the post ride grooming - too cute!

Sorry to hear that Val felt hurt or scared. I NEVER like to hear about an animal feeling that way, even if it is part of life on earth for so many. Sigh. But the good news is he has you all day all the time. A fabulous pairing!

I'm hoping to ride this weekend--damn you winter!!<br />I also completely know what you are talking about re' the trimmer and battling and witnessing the argument and I too step in. It's either the trust they have in us, or the height we hold their leg/hoof at that they are used to but sometimes I just say--Let's give him a moment, or let me do this for a minute. If they don't like it--buh bye. I've been down the road wayyyy too many times keeping my mouth shut and I simply don't. I am always respectful as you are to their profession but I have my horse's voice too.Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-65356904636076732982014-03-22T00:55:00.230-04:002014-03-22T00:55:00.230-04:00Yah! :0)Yah! :0)Bakersfield Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571487914424695283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-51925763977093952412014-03-20T15:25:43.392-04:002014-03-20T15:25:43.392-04:00Yay! congrats!
