After long week in the "office"...

...it's the day off time! It was a hard week for me and I am feeling well and truly tired. It's a nice tiredness though, not the one you get from long hours at an office's desk. For some reason I ended up riding a lot of strong horses this week (do they just really have to get strong in the same time!?;) and ended up with a lot of muscle pain and strained thumb. Good job I am hacking Hamlet out today as I plan to just relax and work long and low.

After a nice lie-in this morning and a bowl of some exciting fruity weetabix I sat down to Ricky's computer in an attempt to watch some instructional videos on You Tube. There happened to be quite a few that drew my attention but after clicking in between the videos I started loosing the ones I wanted to watch again. So that is how I came up with an idea of EQUESTRIAN TRAINING VIDEOS BLOG :) At first I was going to keep it as my private blog but thought some of you may also like to have those videos grouped together. I will be adding whatever I find helpful either for teaching or just schooling on my own and the videos will illustrate training/competing in Dressage, Show-Jumping and Eventing.

It is funny how they all seem to get strong or goofy at the same time. That happens here as well.

Oh the video blog sounds like a great idea. I never find the time to search through those things, my eyes get tired before I find anything worth watching. lol

The video blog is a great idea. I wish I could watch them now, but here at work they don't allow any streaming media to come through on our servers, which means no video, no audio, no You Tube, nothing! I'll have to wait until I get home...

Rising Rainbow - I am the same when searhing for videos online, it's just so tiresome. However, it's currently one of the cheapest way of learning for me so I am trying my best :)

Dressage Mom - how rude of work IT people not to allow equestrian videos!
