During my dressage lessons (which can just feel like a lesson in frustration) I have to remind myself that when I got Dee we would settle for 2 or 3 walk steps because that was as good as it was gonna get. Now I want her to come back from a canter, stay in a frame, step calmly into a flat footed walk and then get frustrated when it takes 10 steps to actually walk. Perspective is important (and patience, but who has that)!LoveLaughRidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408180801317705985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318842770364105067.post-2817152118236684522016-09-16T07:32:35.652-05:002016-09-16T07:32:35.652-05:00I think it's easy to get frustrated with a per...I think it's easy to get frustrated with a perceived lack of progress, but at least the blog gives you a good historical snapshot so you can feel better!

I was genuinely shocked yesterday when I realized that I've only had Leo for 3 months - of course he's not a master of dressage and jumping at this point, it's barely been any time at all! And with Stinker - illness etc probably produces the same effect. You've had him for a while, but so much of that time has been rehabbing. For me, looking at the conformation stuff helped a lot. I feel like when you start to get frustrated with progress/lack of progress, the best thing to do is to find a way to reset your expectations. And trail riding a saddlebred bareback with a halter and reins is no small feat - definitely an accomplishment to be proud of!kaityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389820971120741273noreply@blogger.com
