... Is such a buzz!
Marjorie has been showing signs of getting a little stale/bored, so I have decided to introduce her to the art of showjumping. What's that I hear you say? Arabs can't jump? Especially those of the chestnure mare variety? Wrong! She is positively loving it. And she's teaching me so much as well:
1. That I underestimate her.
2. That sessions MUST be under 20 mins or she just stops. Literally.
3. That once she knows how to do something, we don't need to do it over and over. Twice is enough. Any more and she just stops. Literally.
4. That if I set up the learning in clear, explicit steps then she can easily do anything I ask (I knew my teacher training would come in handy one day!).
Pointless, smug, self_satisfied thread.
