Lunging After the Dog
February 5, 2013
I was lunging Simon the other day before riding him and Daisy was running around antagonizing Simon. If I was feeling serious about getting real work done, I would have exiled Daisy so Simon could focus, but they were both having so much fun that I let it go for a while.

Mounting Block
February 2, 2013
For a life long games rider, using a mounting block feels a little wrong. Although I have not vaulted for years, getting mounted quickly and frequently is still a necessary skill.
I did use a friend’s for a few months after a bad riding accident a few years ago, when I really could not get on my pony without it. I still have mounting issues leading from that injury, and the fact that I have gotten a tad rounder, and now have more of me to get on doesn’t help, but I can usually get on my pony just fine without assistance. Although in the winter, when I add in all the thick layers, and the insulated coveralls, a mounting block would not be snubbed. And while riding Milli, I tended to pull the saddle around her roundness when I mounted, so I gave in and purchased a mounting block.
Speaking as a life long games rider, it felt wrong, very wrong.
But it sure is a nice fixture in my riding field.
