I have been riding all week...Crush is beyond amazing...just when I thought I was never going to get him to step into his lope, he broke a lightbulb over his head and OMG! he is absolutely delighting me with his lope departures...I think when I start laughing with glee he gets the idea he has done something so right, so his interpretation of 'good boy' is spot on! I was thrilled to pieces today as he is just loving showing me how good he can do it...I love this Doofus!
It has been a crazy month; I worked a driving show at the saddle club in Daytona and it was incredible fun...So next month I am going to a driving clinic to get either Crush or Cleo ready to go into harness so I can show them...Got this incredible Jerald show cart and it cannot be much longer before I get out into the arena with it.

I love driving. I drove my pony in 4-H for six years. Used to head to town that way, before I had a driver's license. Pictures in the local paper of him tied to a sign post while I was in the store. Oh my, I can't imagine being as carefree now as I was then, but then, I don't really have a horse that broke now either. All horses should be kid mauled. Of course, he was also in his late teens, early twenties during that time, and I don't have anything that aged now. The trainer started my current mare in the buggy, but since I decided to sell, I haven't looked around for a cart/harness. I am thinking seriously of beginning to judge. It scares me to lose my Ammy status, but at the same time, I have always loved judging and I think I am good at it. Still, I would have loved to shop for the perfect driving hat. I LOVE hats!
