In the next 30 days I am tied up with travel or recovery and teaching long days away for 7 of them, but the following 30 is even busier. That leaves a good 23 days where I’m only 3/4 busy so I am doing this.
I teach a new (to North America) equestrian discipline called Working Equitation which involves navigating obstacles on your horse, in both a technically correct phase, and a speed phase.
I do clinics in various locations and they don’t always have all the equipment needed, so we get creative. A lot of people don’t have much money, or much room to set up a full course to train on like we have. I tell them they don’t need it to start with and try and explain how they can do without.
The transformation I want to make available to riders is to feel confident in their ability to successfully train their horse for Working Equitation obstacles (with a minimum of equipment) even though they don’t have much money or space.
I am committing to working on this project 6 hours each of the next 4 Thursdays plus other times in between when creativity strikes me.

April 21, 2017 at 12:13 pm #38712Week ending April 13th – Okay kinda missed this deadline to post but was actively creating course in my mind as well as setting up an outline with Cherry Tree.
Week ending April 20th – 4 1/2 hours computer time as well as lots of thinking/planning time. Worked through checkpoints 4 and some of checkpoint 5.
Hard to get a full day set aside yet but working on it. Love this 30 day format. Git ‘er done.Coming up Monday I have 3 riders and a photographer lined up to do what I have planned so far, experiment with some alternatives and film the video portions of the course.
I already have an idea for the next course.
April 21, 2017 at 7:45 pm #38747Wow @trish_hyatt, this looks like such an awesome course… and so much fun! Obstacle courses with your horses, that’s awesome! Way to rock it in your already full schedule. Can’t wait to see what you create here.
Get’er dun!

April 26, 2017 at 6:33 pm #393692 hours worth of videos shot of 3 horses doing obstacles – 85 renamed for identification and ready to sort through.
Project is evolving as I go.
Now to take what I’ve got and produce it into the first release.
Have a bunch of diagrams to make as well to make it easier for people to follow what we are doing and what it leads in to.But first a mindmap of what I’ve got, what I could do and what I still need.
