Or I guess how second-nature that caution was. The only time it really surfaces is when high speeds are involved. I only gallop full force on Q and Griffin when I've got a hill in front of me. Flat land speed intimidates me. After Q flipped me neatly over her head when she saw an offensive tree and slammed on the brakes from a lovely canter I've been hesitant to go fast in nice places!

LOL. I'm glad you have him back, and especially right now. I relate to this entry so much. I look at pictures of myself galloping bareback and bridleless with no fear, and wonder what happened to that rider. I'm glad Stan is able to help you get some of your bravery back. That is what Moniet did for me this year. My rough starts with Magic last year really took a toll. I hadn't even realized how much of one! Moniet was just what I needed to get over that, and riding him has carried over into my confidence on other horses. I hope that Stan will do the same for you. When he does, I am sure both of your other ponies will benefit immensely.
