" I think its our horses job to keep us humble...." << The difference between a horse's behaviour at the beginning of the warm-up and once he is ready to enter the ring is another point - timing the warm-up just right to be able to enter the ring with a calm, focused, yet energetic and impulsive horse is part of the art of showing which is quite separate from the art of training. >> Yes, Yes,Yes ,Lori ! I need to work on this also ! I over-train and also over warm-up in the days before I show, or at a show since we try to get there a couple of days early......using up my " showy " preformances and being too flat during my classes. I have had 2 judges tell me that they saw the drive they wanted to.....the day before in the practice ring. I guess that I need to let my horses rest and just warm up for a couple of min. before classes. Keeping me humble is not hard.....just when I start thinking that Im "all that " I go clean up after 19 Fjords. ; / Lisa
