Just returned from airport--George in England for another 2 weeks. This week has been one of the most emotional, life-changing weeks of my life. This trainer we're at is world famous in his field and he is training both Echo AND me. Long story short--I'll tell all when I come to Akron this summer!!--we rode safely for the first time on Thursday. He was still nervous (drenched) on Friday due to previous mis-treatment before I got him that we are correcting. I decided that while I still have to go back to work, since George is out of the country; we are staying at the trainer's while he's gone. I can still get 3 to 5 3 hour sessions in the next two weeks; so we didn't bring him home. Things are going so well-very emotional....and very physical. I love him...
