It has been awhile since I have posted anything.  This is due to the fact that I wasn't able to be the partner my horse needed  me to be.  I was in  much pain from a degenerative hip problem and could hardly walk. I had my hip replaced on May 9th and feel wonderful.  Hopefully there will be many interesting things for me to chat about now.  Storm and I are basically starting over, he lost all confidence in me as a leader as I wasn't there for him. My RBE needs consistancy and I need to approach him like I am on valium (very hard to do when I too am a RBE). I can't wait to order my personality and match reports, I think I am going to find it very interesting.  In the meantime we are doing a lot of undemanding time and the catching game.  The balance of Love, Language and leadership is a very important part of our relationship.  I am working on that every day and am getting better at being progressive.  Until next time like Pat says keep it natural!!!
