My dear friend and band-mate, Tove has recently been learning to become a riding instructor and horse trainer for me. She's been doing great so far, but she felt like she's been so focused on the ground work and paper work, that she's lost some of that actual riding skill to teach effectively.

She does great with the intermediate riders who know a lot already, so she just sits back and tweaks minor things that they pretty much already know they're doing wrong too. With the beginners, she's been forgetting some things, she feels.

She said she realized she hasn't even ridden herself a quite a while. She deals with a lot of the managerial things at my barn, which helps me a lot, but she's always been one that takes things a little too seriously and burns herself out quick, forgets about her other ions in life. That's why I asked her to be a riding instructor, change things up and get her hands dirty, get all those daily steps in.

We did a little private lesson of our own today. See what she re being in the saddle again. She did fantastic, of course!

Just a lot of minor corrections, but she was able to recognize a lot of them herself and fix it. I think getting some of her own riding lessons will help give her some ideas on instructing others during her lessons; Help her to recognize and empathize with her students' struggles and successes.

Some of her horses are boarded at the Silverglade Manor stables, since she lives near the race track, and some are boarded with me. That's why we're out here today. The gorgeous girl she's riding today is Brooke, a lovely English Thoroughbred. She's got the best demeanor, and her gaits are very "easy on the old bones".

I think Tove will be a wonderful instructor!

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely evening/day/morning!
