This is a response to a blog post that I tried to comment on but my phone won't let me post... I thought my .99 cent iPhone could do everything!

(definitely check it out!)

A friend mentioned tripping over your blog and I thought I'd check it out and this is the first that I read. My whole life I've been able to separate my outside life and my life in the ring and at the end of the rope of a horse. New horse, new day, different slate. After I lost my first horse a year ago (and my best friend) I knew I needed a break from owning another but I kept working with other horses. My grief never got in the way of that because I searched for what he had in others. When I found my new horse a few moths later I thought, 'this will be a piece of cake'. Oh how wrong I was. After working in a clinic with Brent Graef I realized how much pressure I put on myself to make this horse something he was not, my first horse. I was blind to what I was doing and let my issues get in the way of working him through his own. I resented him in a sense. No, he will never be my OTTB but he will be my AQH. :)
