One year on
13 February 2010 23:18I can't believe it's already a year since my adventures in Texas. I'm still learning from the stuff I did there and that month really did change everything about the way I am around horses. I was hoping that it would put me in a place to be able to get the most from spending a bit of time at Silversand this year but after the tribulations with the lorry last year we just don't have the money to fly out there- it's a real shame as I'd love to see Phillip Nye teach and he doesn't do that very often but so it goes, we'll find ourselves some other fun things to do and places to go this year I'm sure.
I've been thinking a lot about how brilliant that time was, the brightness of the light, the willingness and generosity of those colts, the constant nervousness on my part every time I was getting on a new horse. It was absolutely the most exciting, terrifying and fascinating thing I could have chosen to do. I was reminded of it again today seeing this video from Pierre who was one of my fellow students on the course. There's some good stuff here, very influenced by how Martin works:
