This one is for Aimee

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Aimee of SprinklerBandits fame and her opinionated thoroughbred Courage.
Hello, Beautiful.
 Aimee and I talk a lot, mainly about opinionated dressage thoroughbreds and their ridiculous over abundance of demonstrable emotion.
Like so.
And so.
Having a horse who mentally and physically gives you the finger when the going gets tough is hard. You need to be an independent rider to stay confident in your training plan, and your horse's reactions.
Cause basically...
... shit is gonna happen.
You have to have faith that your plans are still on track, even when the train has literally fallen completely off the track.
I don't know what you mean...
It totally doesn't suck to have your horse drop his brains in the show ring. #sarcasmfactory
I guess what I'm trying to say is: Happy Independence Day to all of you independent people and your independent horses, like Aimee and Courage.
Don't worry, though. Being independent...
...doesn't mean you're alone.
