(It's also weird to realize things like the fact that I wore the same outfit to my lesson two weeks in a row. I really don't care and will continue to do that, but the Pixio definitely lends itself to a less curated blog presence in general.)
It's going to allow you to see a lot more of me and my mistakes, and that's okay with me. I'm not a perfect rider, I'm not a naturally talented rider, and I'm not one for avoiding criticism. There's always something more to learn, and there are a lot of accomplished people who read this blog that have gone further in the horse world than I have. Why wouldn't I want to source info from you guys?
(That said, I am NOT going to post GIFs of my trainer riding him - just blurry screenshots. Gotta protect the innocent.)
You're going to get to know us better. You're going to be able to draw your own conclusions and not just read the conclusions I come to for you. You'll see good moments and bad moments and moments that I thought were good but you're going to think "What is she smoking? That was terrible."
As always, be respectful, but feel free to be honest too. It's going to be an interesting period of time getting used to this new way of blogging!
I basically adore media of all kinds when it comes to riding. Nothing helps me learn more than watching videos - esp when the trainers voice is recorded.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I wish I could share that with you guys too, but I can't.
DeleteI can't wait! The Pixio sounds amazing and I'm excited to see all the new media and follow the progress in a more visual way! 😀
ReplyDeleteYes! Thank you. It's a lot of fun!
DeleteConnor is adorable, so the more pics/vids of him, the better!
ReplyDeleteLol, you know all about commenting whoring with cute ponies ;)
DeleteI am very excited about this shift!
ReplyDeleteThanks, me too!
DeleteMedia makes blogging more honest but also more interesting.
ReplyDeletePlus you can never go wrong with Connor pics. Obv.
Yes, more interesting for sure. It's more fun to type too, even if it takes longer to produce.
DeleteSo excited for this. Also I can't wait to get my own barn so I can have a Pixio of my own!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You need it, they're amazing!
DeleteSomeday soon we will all start to comment on your blog using this to reference time. "Remember that one time, pre-pixio, when you and Connor..." :)
ReplyDeleteLol!
Deletejealouuuus, so jealouuuuss...
ReplyDeleteSell a kidney or something, you NEED one of these!
DeleteI am excited to see more video of you and Connor - I already see similarities with Ffergie. She is such a different ride than Riva so the more learning opportunities the better!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy we can help!
DeleteAlso so jealous and yeah, different but I LOVE media and agree that it's so great to be able to accurately share what's going on and not just what I'm feeling. Both good and bad!
ReplyDeleteFor sure. It's easy to paint things one way or the other, but the video speaks for itself.
DeleteYou guys are a million times more advanced and fancy than anything my pony and I can do! Man is that thing ever cool though!!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous... I want one.
ReplyDeleteSo. Jealous. I love watching your GIFs <3
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great tool for riding and blogging! I'm looking forward to all the cute Connor GIFs!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! And so jealous! I really do need to convince my trainer she needs one...
ReplyDeleteI WANT A PIXIO SO BAD OMG.
ReplyDeleteThat is one pooped looking pony in the first GIF. Lol. But I would definitely love to have something like this! I can't wait to see how this changes your riding in addition to your blogging now that you can see what you're doing!
