It seems that I should describe a little of what I'm doing and who I am. By profession, I am a publisher. I publish a local wellness publication that has a holistic slant to it. Through that I write and do graphic design work, while fascilitating the production of the an advertising sponsored publication. In any free moment I have, I spend at the barn. At least two hours a day. I do some work there, and get the chance to ride many different horses. My favorite is a 23 year old Dutch Warmblood, named Bastiaan. He is the one in the photo. When I get near him, I feel such a rapport. He has on and off again lameness issues. And so my newest 'ride' is Mia, an 11year-old Hanovarian. She is great fun, and has a loving personality. When riding, she can have a bit of an attitude. She's stiff and somewhat resistant. And she loves to motor forward, often without finesse. I get the sense that she is not very comfortable when being ridden, and I would like to get to the bottom of that. It is probably this relationship that I will discuss most often.
