The last few days have been fairly standard with work going on as normal. I am leaving for a new farm today with Massimiliano. Jose changed my horse about a week ago, which was interesting and a bit annoying. The new horse is very jumpy because it was not trained by Jose and whilst its cantering is very comfortable its trotting is absolute agony and I bloody nearly came off it the first time. However I feel a deep sense of satisfaction that I managed to get to grips with it and also that in all my time here I have not fallen off once (despite a few very close calls.). I feel I am more in control now with the horses and have the technique pretty well nailed down. The last few weeks are exactly why I came to Argentina, herding cattle and riding horses, and hopefully I will be able to continue doing it at the next farm.
