I bet if you are different she will respond in turn (and tell you if she approves!).<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your post.<br /><br />Re: clinic.

This sentence that you wrote really struck a chord: “I just began doubting myself but there was no reason to change my approach; all I had to do was incorporate my new realization into the mix. Instead, I felt like I needed other ideas but those led me astray for a couple weeks, I think.”<br /><br />I feel like I led myself astray for the past 2 months! I just hope I can undo the damage I’ve caused with Dolly... I’m still working on my post and trying to sort out feelings and words. Although the situation isn’t great, I feel like I’ve grown or progressed in my horse knowledge in some way. Whether I can get over my nerves enough to ride a more sensitive horse or not remains to be seen, but I at least feel that I know how to try – if that makes any sense!<br /><br />Good that the barn staff are noticing the improvements in leading Willy – sometimes it surprises me that “horse people” don’t always catch on to that stuff. Too bad you are losing the one responsible person, it seems that those types are few and far between! <br /><br />Oh – are you going to tell us more about the Per Meisner clinic???
