Re: [RC] other things - Chris PausOne of my distance horses does all kinds of other things. He is a lesson horse, a parade horse, and once or twice a year, a show horse. He keeps pretty busy with varied duties. My other distance horse is too hot for most students to ride, but often, when Im giving a lesson, I ride alongside the student, so Star gets his work then. I also teach distance riding lesssons and do that mostly in the "off season" when my weekends aren't busy with competing. So star still gets trail work at pace. chris --- Candace Kahn <paintedskyranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Over the winter months I join a local drill team. We gather early morning at the local fair ground, they have a covered arena, and we work for a couple of hours. There is nothing formal about it, different people different weeks. We are lucky because the gal that heads the drill has formed drill teams in the past and is very knowledgeable. I find this an excellent way to get my horse used to being beside another strange horse. It is also beneficial because your horse and you have to ride as a team with whomever is your partner during the drill team work.
