Seeing A Stride. Some day I'm going to have a jumping lesson or two on Connie . . . but not this week. :) I *started* with hunters and jumpers . . . but once I started on dressage . . . well, I have my jumping seasons. Just not lately. :) Oh gods, yes. Seeing A Stride.

Yes, I know this feeling exactly! If this car were a horse, I’d have noticed something was wrong with one of its legs a lot earlier.

That last camping trip I went on had a weird little outhouse (no running water, of course) with no light inside, so you had to leave the door open if you wanted to be able to SEE what you were doing...which of course meant exposing yourself to the world... *cringe* Oh geez, I can’t stand it either!

The tire was a bit softer than the other three, but I didn't think it was a big deal... Anyway, it wasn't until the third time that year I went in to get my oil changed that one of the people there pointed out the nail to me. I got the tire fixed and so far all four of them look about even. If this car were a horse, I'd have noticed something was wrong with one of its legs a lot earlier.

Like chipping (the big ones are called 'chocolate chips') or leaving long or miscounting strides in lines. . . Some of these would probably make good Klutzy entries :D Haven't taught him how to count jumps quite yet.

I guess I *did* go into shock. And no, I'm sure the wretched boy has NO idea. And I'm extremely sorry about the little brother. Awful.

I didn't have my mobile phone with me (I almost never have my mobile phone with me) and didn't feel like knocking on doors, and it was only three miles home. Then Peter insisted on CHANGING the beggar while I danced around waving my RAC card and saying 'this is why we pay for auto club memberships'! And yes, the nasty little emergency tyre comes with a nasty little emergency jack. Yes.

We may be talking at cross purposes. Dressage flying changes, you keep the horse absolutely straight, and SIGNAL the lead change. Practical show jumping flying changes you change the bend and the horse changes lead. It's still a precision movement, it's just a different one. Hmm. We may be talking at cross purposes.
