Wears headscarf aggressively
hahahaha if you actually owned Kira you might have a different viewpoint on that one
I think the changes are the sticking point for many people and horses, it's definitely what did for Millie and was a bit of a threshold. by the time she had a good change each way her doddery old legs were failing her. If you can get as far as AM without too much difficulty then it's not *too* far to PSG (and from confidence at PSG it's not a great leap to I1 - the tests are relentless in difficulty but in terms of learning/perfecting new movements it's starting to feel fairly familiar)
.... and then it feels like starting all over again
