I just might have a prodigy on my hands 😂

Progress isn’t linear and sometimes life makes it impossible to put in the time that we would like to. Sometimes you or your horse have an injury.
That doesn’t mean your progress has to stop.

Maybe while your horse has an injury, you take lessons on other horses, focus on your own personal fitness, start back with in hand work, etc.
Maybe while you have an injury, you let someone else school your horse and you read a dressage manual or watch training videos.

Sometimes setbacks end up being what catapults you forward!!

"One time when I was running a coffee shop, Maggie Smith came in. She was eating alone & not at all in peace because all the kids in the coffee shop had spotted Professor McGonagall and we’re so excited!

She finished her lunch, tipped very well and asked for her coat. Before she left, she walked in stern silence to the bathroom with her coat in her hand as parents hushed their excited children. When she emerged from the loo, she was wearing her long black coat as a cloak, one of her arms ahead of her with the coat draped over it and, with a flourish, she swished her arm down and her eyes gleamed as she called out, in character -

“Let the Sorting begin!”

She sat for a good hour signing napkins and talking to a huddle of kids. It was absolutely adorable.

I’ll never forget that. It was the nicest thing I’ve ever seen. She’s an incredible lady."

"𝗜 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜’𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀. Roping turned into work and became a grind, and I kind of lost that youthful exuberance of optimistically looking at life.

It was through God, good people and searching for how to get that optimism back that I finally realized it was something I had to work on. People get stuck in a rut where they’re no longer looking at the glass as half full, and start seeing it as half empty. It’s just a stage of life most people go through. But you have to turn it back around, and get up in the morning with the intent of looking at life positively. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆." — Clay O’Brien Cooper
