I haven't been reading since the beginning, but others have commented on how far you have come so remember that.<BR/><BR/>and it's good that YOU are satisfied. Although working for others is also imortant, it's at least as important to meet your own goals too.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-61208385608580396902007-10-19T14:03:00.000-06:002007-10-19T14:03:00.000-06:00REmembering what your posts sounded like at the be...REmembering what your posts sounded like at the beginning of the semester...this sounds like a HUGE improvement. Don't be so hard on yourself, FarmGirl, or Monkey. Both of y'all are on a learning curve. That's what college is all about, Learning, not gettin' there and bein' perfect. <BR/>Good Luck with the rest of the Semester.HollyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644166795449256850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-82961473111689581572007-10-19T12:30:00.000-06:002007-10-19T12:30:00.000-06:00I know this doesn't sound real scientific but with...I know this doesn't sound real scientific but with roll backs just turn into the fence and kick like hell. Don't let up until he's going Mach 10. He'll start associating turning into the fence with needing to get up and go. You do sound like you've come a long ways with him - just like everything, takes time. Go for 1% a day, in 100 days you'll be 100% better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-45596825190199994842007-10-19T05:39:00.000-06:002007-10-19T05:39:00.000-06:00Sounds like you had a pretty good day if you doubt...Sounds like you had a pretty good day<BR/> if you doubt this, think back to when you started him, and all the problems you had...You both have come a loooong way. we are looking forward to more good reports on both of ya.<BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>Love Ya<BR/>MamawAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-27710262872872673982007-10-19T05:10:00.000-06:002007-10-19T05:10:00.000-06:00Not really a reining pattern, it's one that one of...Not really a reining pattern, it's one that one of the students came up with, and the scoring system is, as far as I can tell, unique to this college, it's just 10 points per maneuver. <BR/><BR/>Monkey is good on walk to lope, he'll jump right into his lope for me when I make it clear that's what I want. I just haven't figured out how to get across to him that he needs to do it from a halt, as FarmGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109427921448753169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-38126454358595934212007-10-18T22:38:00.000-06:002007-10-18T22:38:00.000-06:00Sounds like you did a modified reining pattern (Wh...Sounds like you did a modified reining pattern (What, no spins?) Was it graded like one as well? (70, plus or minus 1/2 to 1 1/2 per manuever). Good luck on it anyway, sure you did great. <BR/><BR/>BTW, you should really work on those walk to lope and halt to lope transitions, they help a LOT in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
