Holiday Break
I took a break from writing to enjoy the holiday and enjoy it I did. I can honestly say this was probably one of the nicest I’ve ever had. Oh, we were busy, as always, but it was a good busy. The
The lesson with Merlin
The lesson with Merlin went really well. It did wonders for my confidence. There were a number of adjustments that needed to be done to my tack. As expected, the saddle is too small for me and because Merlin has a round
