When to say when

As the handler or rider one must be able to see and feel him beginning to be nervous and then determine when it is best to simply ignore his concerns and move on, or work with him to help him through it.

Reminders.....
If your hair is long enough to pull back, please, please wear a pony tail.  Long hair is getting in the way and can create a hazard if you get hair in your face while riding.

Please refrain from wearing earings while at your lesson.  If you forget we can leave them in the tack room. Very small studs are OK.  Larger hoops and wires can get caught, and in the case of a fall can rip your ear.
