(If you're wondering why it looks like I dressed in the dark, I was supposed to be wearing a white Smartpak shirt, but it was raining almost all day and I didn't want to turn my ride into a wet t-shirt contest.)
Not that our tests were bad, but Thursday was hands down the best ride of the weekend. I patiently waited for him to relax, and rode as well as I can right now position-wise. You can tell we're both relaxed in the photos. He walked down to the Dressage complex a bit up, but he walked back on the buckle - and if you know the KHP, you know that's no small feat for a nervous pony.
Love the pics! You and Connor looks wonderful - KHP is a beautiful but scary place.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like your shirt & breeches color combo :)
ReplyDeleteOmg it's so surreal to see you riding there.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I realize it's less of a big deal to midwest people but it seems like a big damn deal to me. ;-)
I giggled at the "dressed in the dark" comment -- that ensemble totally looks like something I would wear intentionally 😂
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous! I am so sorry I missed your rides!
ReplyDeleteLol, I'm still glad I can say I "saw" you when you waved at me as we were pulling out! As much as I wanted to stick around, I wanted to get the good pony home and it was nice to be home by 5pm!
DeleteLove the pictures! I would never have guessed that he started out nervous, of course other than the fact that it's a big scary place, because he seemed so calm and at home on Friday and Saturday.
