This post is dedicated to my daughter who has become a wonderful rider in the last year. She has been riding her entire life, whether she remembers it or not. That is, I was riding while pregnant with her, maybe that is how she developed such a love of the sport. She is now furthering her career in horsemanship by going to school for therapeutic horsemanship.
I have to give credit to her instructor here in Statesville, NC. She is wonderful! My daughter has learned so much in such a short time. The trainer is Jennifer Dipple at Full Circle Farm. You should definitely check this place out. You will be impressed, I promise you. I, too, take lessons there. Any good trainer and instructor will always be furthering their skills and knowledge through lessons and I am glad I found this facility.
My daughter has an appaloosa that she raised and trained from birth. She has always wanted this horse to show and through the years have been working towards that goal. Now she has the opportunity to realize her dreams. She has come a long way in teaching Eclispe to become a wonderfully well trained horse. Here she is working with Jennie at Full Circle Farm teaching Eclipse to bend and supple. They are learning to find their rhythm and work together as one. They have come a long way in the past week.
At the beginning of the week, Eclispe didn’t even want to be ridden. She ignored commands and did everything she could to the opposite of what she was being asked. But after a week of consistent work and encouragement, the trainer and my daughter were able to get Eclipse to bend and supple enough to have a very good lesson. I am sure she will be showing her in competition this summer.
