I almost forgot to mention that we have something else in common, too.<br />You said you were proud to say you had ridden 4 horses since your fell.<br /><br />I just realized...so have I!<br /><br />I got back up on Baby Doll the day after Christmas. I rode Rosie (the steady eddy), then Etta Bay (the next step up with a little sass), and then I rode my Apache!<br /><br />See!<br />How cool is that!<br /><br />Way to go! Yay you!<br /><br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-90289548790859688202010-06-08T12:49:27.970-07:002010-06-08T12:49:27.970-07:00Oh wow! I just love how you described her! And I l...Oh wow! I just love how you described her! And I love how you say she makes you laugh with her quiet, but willing, slow personality.<br /><br />Apache can be like that, but now that we are working on our bond and we are trusting each other, she is giving me more of what I ask for...with much more generosity and forward movement. I never thought I'd be able to get her to tro, much less canter unless I used a crop or a pair of spurs, but she proved to me that she can. And I wonder if it's because she felt that I was ready and that I had proved myself to her that I was going to take good care of her?<br /><br />Maybe that is how Corrie is, too? With time and a close relationship, she will give you what you ask for with enthusiasm.<br /><br />Either way, it's so awesome to know you are riding a horse you feel safe on and that makes you smile and laugh.<br /><br />Isn't that what it's all about anyway?<br /><br />So happy for you!<br /><br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-65173821972428465452010-06-04T06:50:02.435-07:002010-06-04T06:50:02.435-07:00She sounds great.

You never know though, she may become more sporty as you get her in shape. <br /><br />As you know I have a haffy myself and although no horse is perfect (he can get a pony-tude and spook too!) he has always been reasonable and I have always felt safe around him. He was my horse to gain my confidence back with, not because he was perfect (he was not broke!) but because the problems we had were all manageable.Golden the Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230832980797448174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-77717965668724644242010-06-04T04:04:30.654-07:002010-06-04T04:04:30.654-07:00Very cute - how about a lease with option to buy -...Very cute - how about a lease with option to buy - that way you could take your time deciding and wouldn't have to worry about someone else buying her in the meantime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837810398681671703.post-36331533636326709302010-06-03T21:11:44.329-07:002010-06-03T21:11:44.329-07:00I've heard great things about haflingers.

You may someday be ready to get a forward moving dressage horse, but for right now Corrie may be what you need. Would the owner let you lease her (or lease to buy)? You may not be happy with her once you gain your confidence back, so it's an idea (the leasing). I'm excited for you regarding your progress. I think you're doing fantastic!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
