Tangents Fun and Unexpected

I always find Tangents a bit surprising and here is my latest. Meet Fawkes an unusual addition to my riding team I had thought he had a different person but he was thrust upon me and now he will have a chance of a lifetime. I have never considered myself an eventor of any type in fact jumping has always just been a simple dream of mine. Fawkes' purpose was to be an English show prospect but that did not pan out very well for my thrown about companion. Now I have a chance to work with an amazing horse with a great disposition and see if I have what it takes to jump. However even though I will be working with Fawkes in jumping he is also going to become one of my backup buddies I am looking forward to not only jumping him but riding him in a few of my rides next year. So onward to training and more work for me though I have been told this will help strengthen those core muscles I so desperately need. I am truly looking forward to the weekend and working with my current riding partner Shadow and my new riding partner Fawkes and soon I will be introducing my constant partner in training as soon as tax season is over you will be introduced to my Grey wonder horse.
