Cathy Drumm Clinic

What a great day!  Yesterday, Aggie and I went to a Cathy Drumm clinic where we took a private lesson.  Aggie was concerned about the Donkeys, which I kept referring to as the Donkees as in Shrek!  Don't know if she thought that explained anything but Cathy showed us how to deal with things that go bump in the night.  Just so you know, I am old now and have not ridden in a very long time, but I must say, I remembered a lot and am a good student...the kind that can just act on the instructions vs. no action.  Having given lessons, I know the difference.  It was a good ride and we came away tired but happy...both of us.  Saturday, today...we went back again, and today, Aggie was very clear about the Donkey thing being totally beneath her to even look for them.  What a good girl.  She was far more relaxed and trotted with very little urging, worked over poles, even the ones with flowers that looked good enough to eat!  Cathy was happy with both of us and asked us to try to come back tomorrow when everyone goes to the field.  We could watch or we could just ride around checking the jumps out!  Right now, everyone is getting fed and not thinking about tomorrow, but I am.....
