Its winter, the holiday rush is over and it is now time to get serious about my blog. I’ve been thinking very seriously about what Mick, my other horses and I have to offer in this blog.
What we DO NOT have to offer is any expertise in the show ring. We are not about that. WE cannot offer any knowledge on best places to trail ride, best buys in horse trailers or how to spend the most money on tack, or exotic warmbloods.
What Mick, an eccentric Arabian named Collateral, and several obese Haflingers do have to offer is experience on how to come from behind in the horse world. We are a very special lot. We have a lot against us but we are going to be the beast we can be. As I cruise through life, what experience I have in finding balance in the saddle transfers amazingly well in how to find balance in life.
We are a little group of horses and their person who has survived broken legs, lived in nasty fields, been all but sold off to the horse slaughter to find each other in an idyllic setting int he mountains of WV. We are going to prove how with tenacity, one can overcome bias and have something special to offer the world.
Since we have had limited exposure to the higher equestrian world, much of what we have learned has come through books and blogs. This blog is to give you the best of what we have seen and prevent the reader from wasting time with what may have little value for them.
My focus in in classical riding. I like to think that if you understand this, you can transfer the basis to any style of riding. although I personally do not ride western, I think those who do may still find value in what we explore. We welcome you and your thoughts.
So everyone, SHARE.
Ideas bring forth other ideas. Unlike many sects of the horse world, we aim to be open! DOWN with ONE RIGHT WAY! Every horse and every rider is unique. Look at this as a tool box to balance.
