Time flies, and I just haven't gotten around to blogging for no real reason. Aside from a few outings, and some very minor bumps and scrapes, there hasn't been a whole lot going on with Cupid and me.
We did an equine biomechanics clinic with the Traveling Horse Witch last month which certainly merited its own post, but I just didn't get to it and now the details are hazy. But I will say that Cupid thoroughly enjoyed the session, and felt much looser through his shoulders afterwards. We are looking forward to Celeste's return in November and hopefully I will be more diligent about taking some pictures and writing about the process!
We also made several trips to the Horse Park, for a few lessons as well as some solo rides. We walked around the XC course and through the water but didn't do any jumps. We also showed there, and I felt good about my tests but got really crappy scores which sent me into a bit of a funk about not understanding dressage and how could we be getting worst not better when it felt like we were improving. I was quite discouraged, but had some good talks with a few experienced friends as well as my coach, found a few things to focus on, and am now ready to give it another try.

| It was a rare quiet day at the Horsepark, we pretty much had the place to ourselves! |
We've taken several people from our barn trail riding, some with green horses and some experienced. Our lovely shaded parks are a great place to ride in the summer, though thankfully aside from a few days it hasn't felt too hot. And even more thankfully we have not had any fire threats or smoke, knock on wood.
