Dear Mom,
Breakfast at 5:30 am was good. Bed time at 1:00 am was not.
You have more friends than I thought you did. How did you get so many of them to come and watch us ride to your favorite song?
Some of them were a little weird though, especially the one that liked to play with my feet.
The feet thing wasn’t quite as weird as when he started waving that thing around in front of all of us. Who wouldn’t look at someone acting like that???
I am glad I will be sleeping in my own stall tonight. I am still not sure what to make of today except that Con-ger-us must be over.
Your Tired Pony,
Louie

No one taught you the skills you need to work through these things.
Riders often encounter self-doubt, fear, anxiety, frustration, and other challenging emotions at the barn. The emotions coursing through your body can add clarity, or can make your cues indistinguishable for your horse.

Most excellent performance Louie, I can tell you really love your mom! I really enjoyed your posts from congress….feel like I know you! Keep up the good life 😀
I posted my video on youtube at http://youtu.be/wJWpwMP0GIg . It’s not professional, but we took it from peanut heaven!
Emmie and Louie….it was such a blessing to see you achieve a dream. Your hard work and perseverance is an inspiration for all who may want to go after what they think they can’t achieve. You took a horse from a cow pasture to the Quarter Horse Congress. Jesse and Stacy Westfall you are kind, generous, encouraging folks. May God bless the many along the way that encouraged and believed in you and Louie. Way to go!
Cant wait to see the video
