Thanks everyone

For your words of encouragement on my last post (seems like Im doing this alot lately, I promise I will have a good post soon!)

Lucas and I are both doing good, thankfully missing out on the heat wave that seems to be hitting the rest of the country! We've had alot of rain and humid days mixed with thunder and lighting storms which has made for interesting horse keeping.

I went and had a ride with Lucas and the kids last night, working on getting that elusive left lead that seems to come and go. Apparently I need to bump slightly on my right rein, throw my left leg off and kiss. My friend watched me go on the weekend and agreed that my legs were correct in the way that I was asking before (when we kept getting the wrong lead) but it was obvious that I couldn't keep the pressure even between my legs and Lucas was getting the cue to canter off from my outside leg.

Were off to a show down the road on Saturday, showing in halter, showmanship, HUS stake, HUS, hunt seat equation and if were still having canter lead problems we will go into road hack (they ask for an extended trot and canter). Should be a fun show with a good judge. Cross your fingers for correct leads!
