New Beginnings

Hey everyone!

yes, it's been awhile. Way too long in fact. Well, it's a new year and a time of change is coming. Good change. This fall I will be attending Blackhawk College and majoring in Equine Science, I will be on the horse judging team there and I plan on taking a horse with me to school. I feel like the time of my life i have been waiting for is finally beginning to happen! I get to go to a school where I'm taking classes about horse anatomy, psychology, kinesiology ect. I am so pumped!

Magi is doing amazing! Absolutely incredible. We officially passed Level 2, all of Level 3 except liberty and are Level 4 students. We plan on taping L4 finesse as soon as the snow melts! I have been taking dressage lessons with Magi and I have discovered a love of finesse and dressage, not traditional dressage but the kind where it is communication and love*language*leadership in equal doses. He is excelling at finesse/dressage and loves it. I am really for the first time learning how to play the 7 games from his back. I feel like our relationship has taken a new dimension because I am interesting and a leader on his back and utilizing his mind in a way I've never done before. In return, he is offering me softness, suppleness, impulsion, collection. The list goes on. He is giving me his heart. There is no greater feeling. I absolutely adore this horse, he has taught me so much and will continue to do so. I love him with my whole heart.

Here are some dressage/finesse pics as we further our study in Level 4.

My goals for this year with Magi is to be in the savvy spotlight for a celebration, and show him at Arabian Dressage shows naturally. I think it's good to set goals but not get so hung up on them that you forget about the journey. I feel as though God is opening some doors I didn't expect and leading me in a direction I didn't see coming. But He is leading my steps and humbling me. I can not wait to see what He has in store for me and Magi this year! It is all HIM!
