30's at night and 60's/70's during the day... all I want to so is leave work and go ride and bath my horse!
The lesson was canceled due to it being my trainers birthday (also GM's bday) and so I planned to hack...
Got to the barn, grabbed my fancy horse, groomed, tacked up, lunged and headed down to the big outdoor arena. My shoer was playing carpenter and fixing a jump he broke and his wife was taking a lesson.
I hacked around and Henry was pretty good. I rode in the Segunda and he wasn't as soft but nothing horrible. There was like a dressage court set up in one corner of the arena with polls so that was good for him to have to trot and canter over/around and not stress. I love just going around that whole arena, it is huge and I love it!
I worked on lots of two point and I haven't really worked on that much since the challenge that was done with Sprinklerbandit.

Cooled him out, untacked, groomed and put him away with some grazing while I filled his water... oh and grain. yeah he is so spoiled!

Eating his grain with Louie creeping in lol
Off today, lesson Thursday, trainer ride Friday and lesson Saturday.
Wish our outdoor was as large as your guys seems to be!
ReplyDeleteIt's really big! 200×325 Outdoor Arena
DeleteI wish we had an outdoor!
DeleteOmg! That's crazy huge! Livin' the dream.
DeleteYeah it's pretty awesome... when it's dry :) It has horrible drainage!
Deletewe had nice weather for one day...then it left lol
ReplyDeleteyay for one day, boo for it leaving!
DeleteSo jealous... we've got highs in the 30's here and rain/snow. Yuck! Makes me want to hibernate :-)
ReplyDeleteaye high in the 30's!!!
DeleteI try to push myself when the weather is bad to take advantage of having an indoor... But I never pull through. Jealous of the weather!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah we ride hard all year along :) My trainer keeps the whip cracked through the winter lol
DeleteSounds like a great way to spend time with your horse - another one jealous of your weather...although temps are picking back up here. We might even reach double figures next week - the excitement is unreal! :D
ReplyDeleteaye single digets! we don't know what that is like in CA lol
DeleteGlad you had some lovely weather and a good ride! The past two days have been pretty nice here (nice in February in NS = above zero), but still lots of snow and ice. The ring is still a skating rink... can't wait for spring!
ReplyDeletei know our "bad" weather is nothing to others haha!
DeleteI loooooooove big open rings. Yours looks huge! For hunter princess me, cantering in a big open ring is often the best substitute for galloping in a big open field :)
ReplyDeleteyeah totally! It's so fun to have all the space to work in ;)
DeletePlease ask sunny CA to send some warmth to cold, miserable IN please :)
ReplyDeletewill do LOL! :)
DeleteYou live in such a gorgeous area!!
