What are good flatwork excercises for my green 6 year old thoroughbred?
Written by admin on April 4, 2010 – 8:49 pm -I just recently bought a 6 year old Thoroughbred. She is kind of green from not being worked and sitting in a pasture for the past 2 months! She needs to learn how to relax, when i ask her for the trot she is very speedy but then she will relax. She also doesnt bend around her corners. I wil eventually want to start jumping her I just want to get her prepared for that. Do you have any “tricks” or exercises that may help? Thanks!!

Thoroughbred – Precious love – Olivia Newton John
Written by admin on March 29, 2010 – 9:57 pm -
**Song Lyrics** (Olivia Newton-John / Annie Roboff) In this world- where life keeps changing- There and ever seemed – be enough- I kept gone, my soul was searching- Looking for something that would fill me up- I have always – felt a yearning- Something inside me was unsatisfied *** Precious love You woke my heart up It’s been sleeping- for such a long time- This crazy feeling- I can believe it Your love has found its way into my life ***- Take our time- slow and easy- I’m so comfortable when- I’m with you Catch my breath- when you come near me- can’t control this if I wanted to Thought I’d never- trust another- and here in your arms I feel safe again- Precious love- You woke my heart up- It’s been sleeping- for such a long time- This crazy feeling- I must be dreaming- Your love has found its way into my life You touched a part of me And set my spirit free- *** Precious love **** This crazy feeling- I must be dreaming- Your love has found its way into my life- You know, your precious love- has changed- my life ******************oo********************* Love is on. No matter whoever or whatever it is. “Love is precious” Song by Olivia Newton John
