Return to reality

Thank you all for being so patient while I ran away to enjoy the sun for a week! The closest horses I saw were the ones wearing harnesses:

The trip was amazing -- the full story will be on the Here there be dragons... blog sometime this weekend -- along with links to some of the almost 900 photos taken!

And back to reality it is -- good to see nobody worked too hard while I was away playing *g* Even my horse threw a shoe! Sheesh :) But such is life.

Theory Thursday is up -- it could use some more pictures, but Thursday's almost over and I'm zonked, so photos will have to wait a bit. The text stands on its own though. This week's topic is Independent Riding. That is, Ring Rules for beginners, practice rides for intermediates, and conditioning schedules for advanced.

Thanks for reading!
