| Day 13: Bareback (this is Brodie, you can ready a little about him under the about Karley tab) |
Saturday was a lesson... I was SLOW moving in the morning, feels like I am ever Saturday these days. Got there late but did a fast groom and tacked up.
Ran Henry around the round pen and got on.
Flatted around with the group.. the lesson already started so I just jumped in and did my own thing. When they cantered I joined them... then did a lead change when we were told to reverse, it required 2 tries :) Oh Henry!
Onto jumping.. I was told to wait, I hate waiting- not because I am impatient but because I sit and worry lol!
When it was my turn I did this:
Warmed up over 1 a few times. Then did the course numerically.
1. X/Wall
2. Vertical
3. Vertical
4. Wall Vertical (6 stride)
5. Rainbow Oxer
6. Oxer with a wall
7. Gate
8. Ground Polls to an Oxer
After the first oops at the second jump, I got my head in the game- sorry Henry didn't mean to bury you.
Henry felt good!
Cooled him out, untacked, gave a quick bath in prep for the show, cleaned tack, made grain and took Henry to his stall. Kisses for him of course!

| Day 14: My Trainer :) |
Went for a run tonight with the fam.. going to try and run 2 nights a week to add to my 4 days a week of riding... I can do it!
Hack Monday, lesson Tuesday, schooling (hopefully) Wednesday, off Thursday, trainer ride Friday, lesson Saturday and show Sunday.
I have started running again since we moved to Ky but it is hard fitting it in with riding - and those dang hills don't help matters either! Stick with it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it will be interesting to fit it in with everything else I have going on but I'm only expecting to get 2 runs in a week :)
DeleteYay show! I haven't been blogging much lately so I'm probably a bit late in saying that, haha.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the running! I'm sure going with hubby will make it a bit easier... Someone to motivate you!
Yeah having him once a week run with me will help.. the other time I go, ill have to make myself do it! lol :)
DeleteCross training for riding is one of the best things you can do.
ReplyDeleteYeah we will see how it works out with life :)
DeleteSending butt-kicking show vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! No nerves too ;)
DeleteGood luck with running. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to run, but its hot so dang late out here... we've settled for walks to the park. I need to do some serious core exercises. That's where my weak point is.
ReplyDeleteIt was 92 last night when we went :) Where there's a will there's a way!
DeleteI'm going to try and add 3-4 days a week of the gym to my 3-4 days a week of riding... that being said I haven't actually done this yet. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYeah I am not going to do both in a day, 4 days of riding and 2 of running and one day off is my plan :)
DeleteYou're my hero! I can't run... my flat feet won't allow it :-)
ReplyDeletehaha i don't like it but I feel like I need it :)
DeleteRunning... Bane of my existence...
ReplyDelete*Snaps for Karley*
ReplyDeleteI've just started running again as well, plus I found a Denise Austin Pilates DVD which is kicking my but/abbs :D
I love that photo of your trainer!
Nice go girl! Keep up the good work!
