Jean-Louis will be leaving tomorrow night, we sure hate to
see him go. The Mural is finished and absolutely stunning. Linda and Victor,
the owners of the White Horse Inn, had invited us to a party last night in
Jean-Louis’ honor. Great people, super conversations, lovely food and free
flowing wine – what else can one hope for? Not having to go to work the next
morning comes to mind!
Hopefully, Jean-Louis will be back for the Grand Opening of
the restaurant. He has been giving Linda dressage lessons every day and she is
extremely happy with the French teachings of lightness, and how much progress
she and her horse have made, so she has more than one reason wanting Jean-Louis
to come back.
Tomorrow I will be trading the French Artist for the
German-American Olympian. Jan is coming this weekend to do a clinic at Judy’s,
and I boldly have signed us up. It’s a bit of a gamble, because I am clearly
not yet back to my pre-accident form. It was evident in my lesson yesterday. I
am overriding, I get tired and then I get frustrated. Argh!
I honestly don’t know how I would manage without Judy -
well, I guess I could figure something out, probably along the lines of just
sticking to trailrides, that is. Judy has just the right approach on how to
deal with me (ja, ja, not an easy feat, I admit) – a mixture of giving me time,
encouragement, and just the right push when I’m on the horse. She also has been
warming up Remy for me, and that made a huge difference. When I get on I can
feel how he should feel. The challenge then is to keep it…
