The mare that reads my mind

On Tuesday I rode Mimi (of course! lol) and she was great! We've been working on difficult and easy courses lately and alternating circles around a set of cones. I wasn't feeling myself and Mimi knew it! Although my hand and canter position was WAY better than on a day when I'm feeling fine, I still felt unfocused. Mimi knew EXACTLY how I was feeling! It was VERY windy on Tuesday and all the bushes around the ring were waving and little critters were running around madly. Mimi was scared and itching to run away from her fears but she knew that if she spooked I would likely come off because I was so out of it. Through the ENTIRE lesson she didn't spook ONCE and we cantered plenty and went through some leg yielding courses over cross rails. She was FABULOUS! I love Mimi with all my heart and can't wait to ride her again on Friday.

I'd like to thank Elizabeth Campbell (Mimi's owner) with all my heart for allowing me to ride Mimi and for supporting me even through the hard times. Thanks Lizzy!!! <3
