Oh and about impulsive, I never even rode Harley before I bought him. Looked at him for about 5 minutes and said I'd take him. Best horse I've ever bought. Go figure.

Becky, the arena not usuable right now. That would be ideal. I had a choice of the round pen or the grounds. I figured if I was going to fall I would rather it be on the grass than up against the fence. Just something else I have to overcome. The trainer has confidence in the horse and me. I wish I did. Kind of like your friend, it seems more than she sold me the horse but she wants me riding again. She still feels this is a good horse for me. She's even checked to make sure the horse didn't have a hx. She rode her first, walked me, then stayed close and gradually started backing up but still talking me thru stuff. I would just go ride everyday by myself with Eddie but I promised her right now that I wouldn't. Right now, what ever she says go. I can get cocky again later:')
