Dear Universe -
May I please have another horse?
I did not take the last one for granted. I rode him 5 or six times a week, and I loved doing it. I loved him. I was learning things about how to ride an upper level horse, and how to be a better rider. I miss having those conversations with a horse with that kind of training. It isn't that I don't miss Bully, because I do. A lot. But missing him is not improving my riding, and while the Canadians are teaching me things, they are not helping me compete at the level I want to try.
I am hoping to find a first or second level school master for free lease or shared lease in a 30 mile radius. Age, gender, size, shape and color are all negotiable, but the training is not. It would be nice if the horse was comfortable and fun on trails too, just to keep us from going bonkers with boredom in a ring. I was looking forward to competing in a few small shows, and working on some clinics with my previous horse. That would be nice to anticipate with a new horse too.
I do come with references. I took good care of Bully, and took pleasure in doing so. I keep working with the Canadians to make them better horses, and with their owners to make them happier and more confident riders. I am dedicated, and determined without (I hope) being too rigid. I like to goof around with my horse, and I am good at stepping out of the ring, and away from expected behaviour. I have no dignity. I keep my pockets stocked with carrots. In return, I ask for a horse that might recognize me, and work with me on my riding, accept carrots without looking for fingers as well, and be open to goofy behaviour from the rider, including lots of trails, splashing in water, the possilbility of galloping on a beach and bareback riding, as well as basic schooling work.
I promise to continue to keep looking for my next horse, and ask people who might have a lead on a good horse for me. If you could help me by bringing that horse to my attention in a timely fashion (like in the next month or two) I would be grateful.
That is all
Thank you very much
Lee
