So… I had a super ride on the Wakey Wakey today! Yesterday we had a left leg lesson and it seemed to get to heart of it. Today we had some really super moments where he started to get shorter by pushing his hind into the front and then accepting the standing hand in the front. He at the same time has to carry more, which is not on his list of favorite things, but he is learning it! Perhaps more importantly, I am learning it! He takes the work great and I am so lucky to get to ride a horse that can give me the feelings.
PSI did the photos for the next auction and I have to say they thought of everything!!! The pictures had to be perfect so the ears had to be forward, the people had to be smiling, the hats had to be straight, the end of the reins had to be on the outside, the railing had to be freshly painted, the clouds had to pass, etc. It was quite the production but the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous.
It is fun to see all the people who are here as well! Yesterday came a lady from Oman and we went to the tack shop together. It was interesting to hear about the differences in her country. The tack shop was also quite the production! However, I was quite excited because I only spent 13 Euros and didn’t want anything else! High Performance Equine saved me from selling my soul in a German tack shop!
The weather is finally back to a typical German summer as I am told; rainy and about 60 degrees Fahrenheit! BRRR! Enjoy your ponies and thanks again!!

Having just returned from Germany and from visiting PSI I am vicariously re-living it again! :)Thank you for the updates! And by the way, I didn’t make it out of the tack shop only spending 13 euros…glad to hear they re-stocked it! LOL!
Hi Em,
I am so enjoying your updates. Your colorful descriptions put us all in Germany with you. I followed your Mom’s success on the internet and we are very proud here in Kansas of “our” Wagner family. I have my t-shirt ready to wear at the breed show. We will be rooting for you, our home town favorite!

I want your weather.
