My horse is crazy talented, and at 11 he's still working to lock down a solid first level and he's messing around with second. I often think he should be further along but I am doing the best I can with the life constraints I have.islgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926127836252687116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-11154137281353572662021-02-02T17:58:28.387-05:002021-02-02T17:58:28.387-05:00Love this mindset!Love this mindset!L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-22196329305996536212021-02-02T11:13:08.583-05:002021-02-02T11:13:08.583-05:00Yeah, that's a really healthy outlook I think....Yeah, that's a really healthy outlook I think.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-40433547769626206652021-02-02T11:12:55.541-05:002021-02-02T11:12:55.541-05:00We do, and it's hard to know what those expect...We do, and it's hard to know what those expectations should be sometimes.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-30593460249267608912021-02-02T11:12:32.324-05:002021-02-02T11:12:32.324-05:00I'm so glad you got something out of it!I'm so glad you got something out of it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-34496078657974292962021-02-02T07:47:37.976-05:002021-02-02T07:47:37.976-05:00Love this post.

Half the battle is having reasonable goals and expectations.

The trainer where I board is so hard on everyone and has zero understanding that we don't all get to ride for a living. It can be... a lot to deal with. So your post really speaks to me.

And the horses' thresholds for happiness are pretty low, as you say!

I've on/off struggled with an "I'm not worthy" attitude after trainers get on Gav, but what I know deep down is that Gav doesn't care if he ever becomes an FEI pony - I mean, I'd be thrilled, but he doesn't care. He wants pets and cookies and cuddles.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.com
