Take me there....
After reading Robin's last post, I was most struck by her description of finally feeling as if she was in a Munning's painting come to life. I'm sure we've all done that, seen a a painting or a photo, and wanted to immerse ourselves in it. Vacations are planned that way... some destinations take longer to achieve. They require time travel, and personal skills. Whole collections and grand passions are built on such things.
Take me here...
Or here...
"Why weren't you out Yesterday?"
by Sir Alfred Munnings
No news on the personal sidesaddle front. None of my "fixes" have arrived. I did pick up a sticky rug pad to put under my quilted pad to see if that stops some slippage. And I believe I have the leaping horn adjusted to my satisfaction. I've been riding bareback all week, and am pleased that after 4 weeks of strictly bareback, I have a much more independent seat, and my balance and confidence have improved greatly. I haven't even had to grab mane the last two times. I have gotten back to the point where if I feel I've bounced over to all my weight on one side, I just bounce it right back without my heart leaping into my throat. I feel 16 again! Only 30 pounds heavier... working on that too.
