Training Sassy by Sarah
by Embrace Country Life on 08/14/12Everyday since July 26, 2012 I have been training my horse Sassy. You are probably wondering why would you start training your horse on the 26th? Well, the 26th was when the horse shows started at the Broome County Fair. I saw all of the other horses in the shows and I could imagine Sassy in that arena winning all of the blue ribbons. But I realized that Sassy was not the best horse, and I would have to train her A LOT! But I was up for it! So when I got home I said to myself "Everyday I will ride Sassy until winter, and then after winter I will ride her everyday until the Broome County Fair." So everyday I ride her in both Western and English since I plan on doing both riding styles in the fair. I don't just train her with what I know, whenever I go to my riding lessons up in Dryden I always ask Jean what I should do when Sassy does this and that. So everyday If you look outside Mountain Breeze Acres you will see me riding Sassy in the arena, pasture, or around the house. Or you can find me in the barn sitting on Sassy's back, bareback, reading. I love Sassy and I can't wait to see her in the 2013 Broome County Fair!
