I am now a business...

Yes, I have been remiss writing my blog...

But life is just so busy.

I am now a Dressage business.  Lessons, horses in training....very exciting.

I now have two horses to ride and so 3 days a week I ride two horses and 3 days a week I ride one.  I try and have one day off.

I am constantly running around, doing chores around the house, going to do activities with my son and then riding....

If I want to be good, I have to ride.  A LOT.

I have to spend a lot of time in the saddle, and riding different horses is great for me.  Of course, all of this is under my wonderful trainers......who I adore.

My horse, Tee, has come so far in 2 months it amazes me.

We now have a new gal in town, her name is Catalina, we call her Cat, and she is the other horse I now ride.

So my business is born, a website, a bank account, a business address.  All official.

The nice thing is, I can take it slowly, so that even though I am building it, it does not interfere with my No. 1 job, being mummy to my little guy, who today told me that I was his best friend.

Nothing beats being told that.  Nothing.

Love.

Never a dull moment......

I honestly do not know where the time goes or how people have time to blog every day.

I just don't.

I am running around all the time at the moment.  Today I actually have time to just sit for a little while before we head out to the barn, so that I can ride Tee and then teach a lesson to a student, who has her horse at my barn for a couple of days......

This is the horse I found for her.  She is a magnificent mare, 4 years old and just a fantastic mover.  It will be interesting to see how she goes over the next few months.  I am excited equally about the horse and my student.  Lets face it, the better they both go, the better for my new business.

You are only as good as your students, if you are teaching. So this student has to do well.  It is fun to teach and show someone the ropes too....never realized how much I would enjoy it.

My guy is coming along very well - he is just really kicking himself into high gear.  Our next show is on July 10th.  It will be interesting how he goes.  We are not doing a huge show season, just want to get him out now and then and see how things progress with his tension.

I am horse obsessed at the moment.  I cannot help it.

Actually I have been horse obsessed since I was about 5.

Once you are bitten by the bug, you are done.  Nothing you can do.  Obsession becomes normal.

Anyway gotta run, time to go ride the ponies....give them some love......and practice, practice, practice.....

And then practice some more.....
