Karen has been doing great this year, progressing in her riding by leaps and bounds. Tanner has turned into a real schoolmaster and is so good for her. We've been practicing riding Training Level Test 1 in Karen's lessons, so that she can learn how to prepare for transitions, and how to ride Tanner is such a way that she can show his abilites. We took some video Monday. I am so pleased with Karen's progress. I've been working with Tanner since September, 2007, but it was not until May of 2008 that Karen had really been able to ride very much. She is a new rider, having taken up the passion as an adult. It has been a great journey so far for both of us. We are sure glad we found each other.
