Few things are guaranteed in life

Few things are guaranteed in life.

Tonight, I planned to write about photo editing software.   Tomorrow, I was going to discuss a new hotel in Colorado Springs, the Mining Exchange.   The next day would be about a great downtown restaurant- the Springs Orleans.  Then the next day would obviously have to be about the Pikes Peak Theater.  

Yet, Richard Yates in California did an exceptional job of flashing a shining horsey object my direction and he distracted me.  My thoughts changed from photography and down town Colorado Springs to reining horses.  

Oh….Reining horses….. reining horses are fun and exciting.  A reining horse is very obedient just like a dressage horse or a western pleasure horse but they add speed and flying dirt to the equation.  Reining horses spin in tight circles and cause the dirt to fly when they do a sliding stop.   

 

So… my post tonight is dedicated to Richard Yates.  The Women’s Council of Realtor’s seek him – or his knowledge about videography.  Sellers and buyer’s know that he not only has a great personality, he know s his market.   I am envious of his horse videography skills. 

 

I apologize to my favorite AR bloggers for not commenting  on your most recent post from today or last night.  I was distracted by images of wonderful reining horses. 

Sunrise in Pueblo Co

 

As result, I’ll just post a picture of a simple sunrise tonight.  No matter what is happening in our lives, the sun will come up each morning.  The sun will also go down each night.  We have no control over the sun or time. 

 

Sincerely,

Sondra Meyer

I enjoyed this video very much Sondra. The maneuverability and control and speed of the horse is awesome. Don't apologize for your passion. It drives all of us with our interests. Those other posts can wait.

I can understand the distraction.  I might no know reiners but I can appreciate good horsemanship.

I my wife home town one of my fondest images is of two young people riding Paso Fino's along the surf.  

The video below, while not speciafially the image I remember gives you and idea

Hi Belinda, I certainly can why you were distracted. A terrific video and as for the photo of the sunrise, sort gets the body excited about waking up just to see it.

How impressive is that? I've not seen a reining horse perform - incredible animal and a great trainer. Thanks for sharing such a unique video. I second Roger's remarks.

The video is great and I really enjoyed watching the horse and rider. Does reining require a special bridle? This is a great country followup to yesterday's blog on cattleguards.

Thanks for sharing the video.  Impressive riding.  Topics that are of personal interest should take priority.
