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.

  1. You best be talkin' about His Majesty, aka Rooster. LOL I can't wait to see you out on the trail with him. Count me in as his biggest fan & crew. Give him a kiss. Love that boy! One of these days I need to scan baby pics for you.

  2. Fawkes is going to make you an absolutely fabulous horse. I really like the way he moves & his personality is going to blossom now that he knows he's no longer a throw-away. Give him a pat & tell him his foster mom is happy for him.

  3. Core muscles.....boy, do I need work on those too. While I love riding, plain old exercise is NOT my friend. Yet it's probably the only way I'm going to build mine up where they belong. Good luck to you as you work on yours.
