My Endurance Career

Hopefully there will be more to add to this page once Destiny and i actually START our endurance careers! For the moment the best i can offer is a quick rundown of how i hope our training will progress for now.

For the moment training has not begun very seriously, but some vital aspects of preliminary training are well in hand, these include:

	Trotting in hand without pulling or dragging
	Pulling me around while i hang onto her tail (for tailing up hill)
	No fear of busy crowded yards
	Grooming as a means of relaxing
	Calmness when tacking up
	Fairly calm under saddle, allowing for age and lack of experience
	TRUST

At the moment Destiny is not being trained for ANYTHING really due to her leg injury, but that does not mean we have been idle. Being in the sick bay and also having to be floated around so much has given her valuable experience which i hope she will put to good use. She has also met her partner for the future, Jordan. Although they did not get along very well together at first, they seem to have worked out their differences now. Both are fairly dominant horses and neither wants to give way to the other, but they are at least willing to not fight!
