| Love this.. thanks KK |
Hacked last night... Henry was cray cray after the guys were moving some stuff from next to the round pen to another spot with the tractor. It was funny cause he was so drawn in but also spooked lol!
Hopped on and rode around two lesson kids there were riding.. they were little up downers who did a smidge of trotting and I basically had to stay out of their way cause steering wasn't their best skill lol.
Henry was a bit strong and high so lots of asking for the frame, stopping, backing, good departures... I felt like he wasn't going to give me a good frame no matter what I did. My trainer even laughed and commented on his "i swallowed a pipe" look. I did my best to get him to give, it wasn't as good as I expect from him at all but Mondays are never good days for us... So when he gave in I praised and thanked him lol.
He was lathered when we were done... oops!
Lesson today, off tomorrow, lesson Thursday, trainer ride Friday and lesson Saturday.
Kinda big news, we are going to a show the 21st-24th.. not showing cause it's an A show and I can't afford to show but we will be schooling. I will be going up the 22nd-24th... I am nervous but it will be good for both of us.
Lastly, I am almost to 100 followers!!! We are at 89 woo hoo! When I get to 100 I will do some give away/contest :)
Henry and you have a case of the Mondays every Monday.
ReplyDeleteseriously!
DeleteFun! Schooling will still be a blast I bet :) and yay for a contest. In oh a million years when I get 100 followers I will def have a fun contest/ giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYeah it will be three days of all sorts of different arenas :)
DeleteYeah! Very exciting about schooling!! Wish that was an option for me, but it would probably work out to be almost as expensive. Savvy always needs to free lunge on Monday, but she is typically really good. I always expect her to be naughty, tho.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be our one big trip... trainer and I talked and he needs the miles away from home so I will treat this like we are showing and it will be good for us. Then we can go show at some local schooling shows and get in the show ring time :)
DeleteWe aren't polished enough for the A shows- getting there though! :)
woop bet you are excited can't wait to hear how the schooling at the show goes :D
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteExcited to hear about the show! Take lots of pictures :D
ReplyDeleteFor sure :)
DeleteJust getting off property will be good for both of you :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah totally... and it will be 3 full days :)
DeleteExciting! Sometimes I like just going to school/get experience more than showing, because then my nerves don't get out of control.
ReplyDeleteYeah I will still be nervous but nothing like going into the show ring :)
DeleteHave fun at the show, will be a good experience for you two!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! it's still two weeks away so lots of time for me to stress ;)
DeleteGood luck at the show. Im sure you guys will do great.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for getting Henry working properly at the end.
Thanks girl! I work hard at not letting him get away with crap :)
