Well, I went down on Feb. 1-8th. I had a great time, learned alot.
We went out on the town at night to patrol and such. Great fun. I'll have some pictures to post eventually.

Some of the things we did at the school:
Walking our horses through fire, flares, blank round from guns, over jumps, through smoke. Didn't take long for the horses to get settled into it.

The first day I was there, I was on some crazy horse. It wouldn't let me on her, when I did try to get on, she bucked me off. It was horrible. The stupid horse broke my freaking bridle!!
Anyway, the second day I got this little two year old. He was awesome. Little inexperienced, so I took him off to the side the first day and just created a bond with him. Six hours in the saddle later, I had him doing side-passing like a pro. A couple days later (six hours in the saddle every day), him and I were one of six horse/rider teams to make it to the advanced class. If I had to do it all over again, I'd call the owner of that horse and ask to take him through again. He was wonderful. Anyway, enough about this. I need to get back to homework. Like I said, I'll have some pictures of down there, up before too long.

Peace,
Jonathan
