Can't wait. He looks gorgeous in this photo. Sebastian's mane does that near his ears too.

I was often met with a long pause each time someone asked who I was going to have train Gabbrielle, and I said I was going to do it myself. I think I rode her the first ten times, and then got thwarted by a series of personal problems and lameness issues until I gave up and sent her to a trainer simply because I came to the realization that I would never had the time to do it myself consistently. But she was a very good girl, and I know Chrome will be a very good boy.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-65088321810116798562012-05-15T20:21:54.607-05:002012-05-15T20:21:54.607-05:00I maybe wouldn't invite them to watch the show...I maybe wouldn't invite them to watch the show. You will be nervous enough. Don't worry.

I was the first one to sit on her...and to this day (she turns 5 later this month) only 3 other people have rode Riva.<br />First time I sat on Riva - total non-event. You and Chrome will be great on his birthday ride!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313417800020012776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-34684898320598148922012-05-15T10:43:29.475-05:002012-05-15T10:43:29.475-05:00LOL, it's just a common thing people say.

And yes, us natural horsemanship people have no problems, because we take the time it takes to start them! And not just throw a saddle on and ya hoo them around a pen or arena till they stop bucking!!! I started 2 horse now like you did and both never bucked once EVER! So apparently we are doing something correct. So ignore it and you will do awesome as always and have fun!!!!!!!!!!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526076493821209436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-88685837028477335912012-05-15T06:54:29.948-05:002012-05-15T06:54:29.948-05:00I'm unfortunately used to people and their odd...I'm unfortunately used to people and their odd attitudes about horses and training. You've done a great job with Chrome so far so don't worry about them, in fact it's quite satisfying to prove them wrong! ;)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707243897672089983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-11863295588265522302012-05-14T22:04:13.879-05:002012-05-14T22:04:13.879-05:00You're probably right. :) I'll just forg...You're probably right. :) I'll just forget about it. I think it's going to be really boring too and really exciting if that makes any sense lol!! I really don't expect any problems, but I'll be wearing my helmet and have my husband lead him just to be on the safe side. <br /><br />When you decide to spontaneously ride Yalla can you just happen to have someone there with a camera???? Just kidding. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-76676165122626567982012-05-14T21:49:04.800-05:002012-05-14T21:49:04.800-05:00I don't really know what they meant but don...I don't really know what they meant but don't let it bother you. Maybe they just expected him to be sent off to a trainer because he is so well bred. I expect your first ride to be a celebration but rather noneventful. You've worked a LOT with Chrome and I think he will readily accept you as his rider. It's all very exciting, isn't it?<br /><br />I will probably just climb on Yalla's back one of these days, unplanned and unprepared. I don't think I can plan the exact day it will happen. Hopefully, somebody will be around to catch me if it goes south.Fantastyk Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065772565014490544noreply@blogger.com
