Recieved another phone call from my German Trainer this evening. Not long got off the phone, as he likes to talk (alot). He wanted to pass on some advice from Saph's owner to me. Apparantly, she heard that I was coming back over to Germany, and decided that I should ride Saph again. Anyway, her advice to me: Don't look for a dressage horse. You are a very talented rider. Keep doing what you are doing and the horses will come to you.
I'm not too sure if to follow that or not, as I have been told that you shouldn't wait for the horses to come to you. My trainer says that Saphs's owner has a good idea of what she is talikng about, but it's a good idea to keep an eye out for a suitable horse. The idea is that if you get a good owner, who also happens to be well-off, that you are getting good results with their horses, then they trust you to find them their next potential superstar. So that is what I am going to do. My trainer says that I already have Saph's owner on my side, and that she has a pretty good eye for horses, so if she finds one that she thinks is the business, then I could be called on to give my opinion of how the horse will go for me. I'm actually quite happy about this. I've never had an owner who likes me before . Will keep you posted on how the relationship goes.
