Thoughts

It is the morning of the 2nd day, I have been thinking a lot about yesterday. I realized that I have been so focused on the horses mind and behavior that I have missed a ton of physical stuff. I just find the mind way more interesting than the legs, barrel, and feet. I guess that is why I would never be a good dressage rider. I am horrible at line dancing and I have never been able to learn the macarana. Not that it bothers me, but I just realized that my learning style is even hard for me to figure out! Yesterday when a person was showing a horse my eyes immediately go to the horses eyes, then ears, then tail, then mouth. When I finished scanning those things it was time for us to give our assessment. I couldn't even remember if the horse had been tracking left or right! Sometimes I would see if the horse had any bend in it or I would notice a few steps. But I really missed a lot of the stuff in between the tail and eyes! And there is a lot of horse in between the tail and eyes! I guess my education on how a horse moves starts this weekend.
