Thank goodness for YouTube -- there are a lot of videos. I like simple sun salutations -- they work everything. We live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains where the forest transitions from oak to pine. We are in a small valley, located at the bottom (where it is flat for arenas and the barn) so we have 50/50 oak and pine. Most of our neighbors, on steep property, are 80% pine. It is beautiful here. We love it.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-29517133726037371352017-03-05T09:45:59.099-08:002017-03-05T09:45:59.099-08:00Based on my first session, I am very impressed. I...Based on my first session, I am very impressed. I'm not a fan of side reins and like that this encourages movement from behind instead of pulling the front into a frame. The front is slack unless she raises her head; all the "pressure" is on her hind/stifle. I like also that she will build strength without my annoying presence on her back (not that I won't be riding her, of course, but the "work" will be in the Pessoa until she is fit).Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-63381947997874835192017-03-05T09:43:46.551-08:002017-03-05T09:43:46.551-08:00We have a couple inches of snow on the ground alre...We have a couple inches of snow on the ground already this morning, with more to come.

We are supposed to get rain this afternoon.

The only thing I have done is long lining/line driving and love that. I certainly need to do something for myself...have been as stiff as a board.
