Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] What newbies want to know/horse deaths - Maggie Mieske
Wow. How true is THIS!!! :) I jumped in
with both feet (though it was CTR) and there is NO substitute for
experience. Even with a mentor, a rider still has to learn what
works for THEM and THEIR horse!! Trial and error! I take everybody's
advice, try out what sounds feasible for me and keep what works. Even
though Nelson doesn't ride (yet....I'm working on him!), he walks around and
snoops around everybody's camp to see how they do corrals or water or brakes or
whatever. Please be nice to him if he bugs you. :) He might be
the guy who grabs your horse and trots him out for the vet just when
you don't think you can stand up another minute! :) I am encouraging
this because I figure pretty soon he'll be fit enough to RIDE! :) He
just THINKS he isn't.
