Backing up..
Saturday was our lesson.. I was a tad late cuase we were out WAY to late Friday night at hubby's Christmas party.
Groomed, tacked up and hopped on and flatted on my own since I was late.
Then we jumped... Warmed up over an X and a square oxer, going both ways.
Course: X, right to a square oxer, left to a 4 stride line (oxer to a wall), left to a sweetish oxer and right to a 2 stride line (vertical to a little panel).
I was having a problem in the 4 stride line- Off my left lead I am horrible at seeing my distances ha!
Henry was awesome and I can't complain, he is so good at dealing with me ha!
Sunday I went to a barrel race with my bff and her mom. She got second in the 1D (that's basically 2nd place our of 102 people so yeah she's pretty good :) lol)
Grayson was almost perfect the whole day. He was great when I was handling him but was put in a not ideal situation by someone else handling him.. nothing bad happened he just got a little jumpy :) Overall a GREAT outing and experience tho!
Monday Henry got turned out cause I had to finish some stocking shopping and get a baby shower present for a friend :)
I also got the new Higher Standard saddle soap and conditioner I ordered :)
Hopefully B will cooperate and I can hack tomorrow am, idk about the rest of the week- he will get out just not sure in what capacity :)
Ooo glad to see what you got! Jessica and I were emailing about your colors so i was super curious.
ReplyDeleteNice! Thanks for helping her!
DeleteGotta love when bloggers conspire together to make gifts even better. I can't wait to see what's waiting for me when I get home!
ReplyDeleteYES! It's the best! :)
DeleteLove the gifts! Should have done it too but oh well, maybe next year!! And how is that saddle soap/conditioner??
ReplyDeleteYes next year you should totally participate :)
DeleteI've only used it twice so I want to use it a bit longer before I review :)
Tell us what you think about the saddle soap! I am craving this stuff! It sounds phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteWill do for sure! I want to use it a bit longer before I review :)
DeleteI can't wait to hear about the soap, and that pad is super cute!
ReplyDeleteDid you do the exchange?
DeleteLove the saddle pad!!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI'm glad you like it!! I was a little nervous that you wouldn't like plaid or something but I think it will look really cute on your handsome boy. =-)
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything like it, I LOVE IT!
DeleteNice saddle blanket :) Henry is such an awesome horse, Romeo also saves my butt if I don't see a distance! Glad Grayson was good and that your friend did well!
ReplyDeleteLove when our boys save us! Haha!
DeleteGrayson was a doll :)
That saddle pad is so cute! Also, I love barrel racing. I wish I still lived around friends who did that.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYeah Im excited for my bff... she's been doing awesome and is such a great rider, none of that crazy whip spur flapping stuff - she's got a great horse and rides well so they tend to kick bootie :)
Nice pad! Also,....what a good cute baby!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am excited to see him grow and become a nice horse!
