Sheesh.. I'm finally back!

I am sooooooo behind!!! I will catch up on your blogs, promise!!!

Monday I hacked. The pannels were removed from the half wall on the open end of the arena- Henry knew something was different but I reminded him that I was in control and after a few (hundred) times by it he was over it lol. I worked on lots of transitions and smooth smooth smooth!

Henry grabbed the whip when we went into lunge and proceeded to avoid me as i tried to get it back from him- crazy horse!

Tuesday was lesson night. Got Henry, groomed, lunged and got on. Honestly I don't remember much other then my eye sucked in jumping- no bueno!

We jumped everything but 5... I was the master of bad spots and knocked down rails. Thanks to Lyssette for playing jump crew.

Wednesday I had another lesson since my trainer will be gone Thur- Sun. We used the same course and added in fence 5. Henry and I were WAY better and even worked on some lead changes on the straight line - SO hard!

Henry is excited for the lesson!

New boots! :)

My eye was better and he jumped great! He and I were both super sweaty so I took a long walk around the property to cool him out. Then gave him a bath :) LOVE a clean horse!!!

Also I got a new coat and keep forgetting to show it to you all! Got a great deal on it and it seems to be a nice coat :)




Henry also got his 'toes did' Wednesday night.

Turned out today, hack Friday and prob lunge Saturday since I have B and hubby won't be home till the evening.

  3. Where did you end up getting your new boots? I don't remember if I saw your answer of instagram. Love the new coat, very understated but different at the same time :-)

  4. Fab photos, have to giggle at Henry 'running' away with the lunge whip - horses, eh? ;-)

    Fab pinstripe coat (LOVE) & lovely new boots. I have Eskadron's for Miss K as well, probably should get her a new pair actually as the ones she has are starting to wear thin I've had them so long!

    Also I really like the navy saddle pad on Henry - really striking!

    1. All of my trainers jumps have some pizazz so when we go to the shows our horses never look at anything :) haha!
