Syrius

So I went out to the guy's place where I bought my horse, Leroy. He wanted to see how my riding had improved since he first met me. He put me up on this HUGE horse named Syrius (pronounced CY-RUS if anyone might be interested). This horse is absolutely amazing! You can just feel the power built up in him like a spring as soon as you get on. When you ask him to do something even slightly, it is RIGHT NOW. So I ended up trotting down the fence with him, picking him on on side, getting a sliding stop and a rollback. It was amazing to feel what that type of horse can do! I'm really hoping to get Leroy trained up like that, and this guy who owns Syrius thinks I can do it. He thinks I can ride like no one else and that I should be going to the top. This little trip out to this guy's place has got me really excited, so my short-term goal is to get Leroy ready to do a little reining demonstration at the fair in September. Then, I'm going to try to make a partnership with this guy with the horses and go straight to the top. With these horses, I think it is possible. These horses are the most beautiful, well-put together, athletic horses I've ever seen. They are simply gorgeous! Anyway, that is my plan and that brings me to the end of my rant for the day.
