I read with interest your comments from earlier blogs on spooking. Thank you so much.artesian63https://www.blogger.com/profile/01314915342443538653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-82368488100267780252011-04-29T21:49:05.095-07:002011-04-29T21:49:05.095-07:00The Royals really have a deep fond spot for horses...The Royals really have a deep fond spot for horses and when we were in London a few years ago over Christmas I took *tons* of horse pictures. And my darling husband went with me to the Royal Horse Guard Museum. This is also the man who took me to the <a href="http://www.nationalstud.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">National stud</a> during our honeymoon. <br /><br />This <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauraatkins/3140190545/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">horse</a> is one of my absolute favorites. Not because it's such a great picture, but because it's such an awesome horse. <br /><br />I only uploaded a few of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauraatkins/tags/horses/" rel="nofollow">shots of police horses</a> I took. I have an almost embarassing number of shots I didn't upload, though. :)<br /><br />Good luck at the show, MiKael!

Of course our weather is a bit different....<br /><br />Glad you seen a friendly face for starters. That's too cool!<br /><br />Ignore the others. They aren't worth the effort.

I just had my first show of 2011 And had been working with a mentor since October , 2 rides a week and trying to get my now 16 year old gelding to resemble a modern bridle horse! It worked! I was relaxed and so was he..a double judged 2 region qualifier..it brought out the top of the top BNT and their clients! In my AAOTR I took 3rd in a very big class, and who took 1st and second? NO LESS than US and Canadian National and reserve champions Anthem V and Megga Starr…both with BNT Rick Gault! I was on my own…it felt GREAT! Now its onto regionals and perhaps dare I dream…Nationals? Though there It will be select rider…took second under both judges for that!<br />Have a great show season!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487781352931067449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-78734584452544018662011-04-29T11:34:18.425-07:002011-04-29T11:34:18.425-07:00Girl, you need to learn how to do it the Southern ...Girl, you need to learn how to do it the Southern Way...<br /><br />Just smile a little in a condescending way when those folks show their ass, and just think outloud, "Poor dears. God Bless them. They really are quite ignorant."<br /><br />Don't get angry, don't let them escalate your stress. Just adopt a pitying attitude about the ugly world they continue to choose to live in where people badmouth each other and like it. <br /><br />Don't get mad, get a little distant, "Really? I didn't think you were that ignorant. I'm so glad you're not my problem. Bless your heart. Have a nice day!" vibe going and just ride it like a young stupid horse. <br /><br /> You have right on your side, and trust me, they are taking a heck of a lot of loans at the Bank of Karma, and those bills will come due. They always come due.Enginerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429671685652482485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-57528662109481529152011-04-29T08:07:36.474-07:002011-04-29T08:07:36.474-07:00I agree with you about that danged wedding......en...I agree with you about that danged wedding......enough already!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183448760614051130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-65893377569537772112011-04-29T07:51:51.759-07:002011-04-29T07:51:51.759-07:00Kick some tuckus out there!Kick some tuckus out there!smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-62583042912764135662011-04-29T07:41:13.836-07:002011-04-29T07:41:13.836-07:00Good Luck!

Tension and stress aren't going to help your rides. If you go on letting them get to you with their attitudes, then they win.
