Jeff Cook Clinic Recap

Wednesday, January 02 2013 by Editor
Wayyy back in November, Tucker and I took a lesson with Jeff Cook, one of my favorite trainers, at our friend’s beautiful farm, Stoneleigh (Tucker and I have farmsat there  a few times).  Since Tucker was just getting back to work after time off to recover from popping his splint, and wasn’t quite at his usual fitness level, we took it easy but still got some valuable feedback from Jeff, which I’ve been meaning to share with you. You may recall I was a little MIA for a while because of a trial that lasted all summer… this had the unintended side effect of leaving Tucker looking generally like a wildabeast.  So, before we could go anywhere we needed a little Extreme Makeover: Horse Edition .    Before:  (everyone always looks grumpy in the before photo)    After: So much better!   I’m not sure Tucker fully appreciated my efforts given that it was a little chilly that morning for a bath, but you know, the price of beauty and all that…

Adios 2012!

One last post this year… just for old time’s sake…  New Year’s Resolution: START BLOGGING AGAIN! I have been a terrible blogger as of late, but (prior misrepresentations and broken promises notwithstanding), I am resolving to start writing again in 2013.

Back in the Swing of Things

Tuesday, October 09 2012 by Editor
So the good news is, trial is now officially over, and I can get back to riding, and blogging about it.  The better news is that we won the trial, so all that hard work wasn’t for nothing.  The judge didn’t hand me a blue ribbon at the end, which I found a little odd… but perhaps it’s in the mail. Tucker and I have been back to regular work for about three weeks and he’s doing really, really well.  We’ve been taking dressage lessons from the trainer at our farm (Cindy, you may remember she once let me ride one of her dressage mares — results were comical) and I am  loving  them.  Not that I’m going to leave hunterland anytime soon, but I am definitely going to keep up with the lessons as a way to get Tucker more supple, straight, and forward. I think part of what I like so much is hearing things from a new perspective.  The concepts aren’t new, just presented differently.  Example:  I’ve always worked on keeping Tucker from popping his outside shoulder.  Now I’m working on not letting him collapse his inside shoulder.  See?  Same concept, just approaching it differently.  I like thinking of it this way better, it feels less like a game of whack-a-mole that I’m never going to win.  Everything is falling under the general umbrella of “forward and straight,” which is a goal we can work with.
