| Missed this face. |
I got on in Dressage tack, knowing my trainer had ridden him earlier that day, and thought I would just re-learn how to ride. That was a good move. I've forgotten how to ride. Good thing we have a lesson on Thursday.
This is where the blog comes in handy - time to go back through my last few lesson posts and re-learn all the Dressagey nuances that got us here last month:

Finally, I know I said I was going to do MidSouth, but I had to take a hard look at my finances after vacation, and I knew I just couldn't swing that entry fee + hotel + trailering + trainer fee this time around, so I backed out of that. We're now rerouting to a local CT that weekend that should allow me to also fit in a USDF Dressage test too.

| Time to get serious in Dressage tack, little buddy! |
How stinkin cute is he! I just backed out of a show too. Ries never whinnies to me. When I was sick for two weeks I went and saw him at one point and he was like "mom can you just let me out to see my friends and go away?"
ReplyDeleteAwwww! I am always amazed when he whinnies to me, I basically only get to see him to ride him. Horses! Shows = money + time and I am in short supply of both right now, glad I'm not the only one.
DeleteAhh I love it when they whinny! I just got my first whinny a week ago but he hasn't whinnied since. I gave him so many cookies when he did it so I'm hoping he learns...
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the show (and that horses cost money, ugh) but yay USDF tests!
C talks to me, but I think it's mostly because he wants treats. Horse showing is so expensive. Hope the CT is fun!
ReplyDeleteaww he missed you! my mare likes to pretend to be aloof and indifferent - but every now and then i'll get the whinny (esp if it's dinner time lol). bummer about midsouth but i like your alternate plan too :D
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Pony whinnies are the best :)
ReplyDeleteWhich CT are you doing?
ReplyDeleteYou guys will do awesome, glad he missed you <3
ReplyDeleteAww, pony whinnies - he missed you! Dressage is fun too! Do you know what brand Connor's halter is? I'm looking for a new halter for my horse but need one that is slightly smaller and narrower for a smaller head - maybe cob size! :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't, a friend of mine purchased it at Rolex despite not having any cob sized horses and then sold it to me new when I got Connor. If you find a good one, though, let me know! I would like to have a nice one for him too.
DeleteWhat an adorable face and such a nice boy welcoming you with a Whinny :)
