Um we had perfect weather this weekend, why did it have to end?!
Friday Henry was supposed to get a trainer ride but that didn't happen. I need someone to get on him before this prego climbs up there since I don't want to lunge him and let him blow off all the steam :)
 |
| Wish I could do this! |
Saturday we headed up to the show to watch L and Ramon :)
Sunday B and I spend about 3.5 hours at the barn- it was glorious!
 |
| B lovin on Cali |
Gave Henry a quick groom, waited and waited for the round pen- gave up and headed inside for our lots of walk and little trot session. Henry was great- only blew up twice b/c the person in the round pen was throwing rocks at the baby she was "lunging" and the baby was just tearing around so it was an excuse for Henry ha! Over all though- he was a model citizen for having so much time off!

| Practicing out Western Pleasure lol! |

| Back in action! |
I need to talk to my trainer about maybe having her get on him for a light hack or two so I can get back in the saddle- tho I am not sure how effective I will be with this baby bump (almost 22 weeks)! Ha.. so we will see how the week pans out!
Hope you can get a little hacking in before baby bump gets too troublesome :) The barn was so nice and sunny, warm, dry, green yesterday!
ReplyDeleteIt was!!
DeleteOh and I'm not sure how at this stage, I am going to get off Henry lol
DeleteJealous of your 70 & Sunny. It's in the 30s here today :-(
ReplyDeleteI know we are spoiled... seriously can't complain- tho we need water.
DeleteThis is going to sound silly, but where are you planning to wear this shadbelly?
ReplyDeleteNext year the hope is to possibly do some derby's soooo I would need to look the part! :)
DeleteOhhhh! I didnt realize that's what you wore in a derby! SO cool!
DeleteYou can wear a tradition coat buuuuuut I want a shadbelly lol :)
DeleteDepends. RJ has a soft shell shadbelly that they're rolling out to replace the wool one - so if you're willing to wait or you think $100 more is worth the soft shell one then I'd hold off. That being said I have the one you linked to and love it :)
ReplyDeleteHmm soft shell isn't important to me.. might jump on this :)
DeleteIts pretty, and a very reasonable price! I've gotnnothing other than that because I know nothing about shadbellys.
ReplyDelete:) Pretty is important!
DeleteI don't know much about shadbellys either but it is pretty and seems like a good price. :)
ReplyDeleteGetting down from my horse when I was pregnant was always the most challenging thing!
I bought it! Lol :)
DeleteYeah I think hubby needs to build me a BIG mounting (and unmounting) block lol
Just come down to my barn and use our super tall mounting block :)
Deletehaha deal! As long as he doesn't get me off on the way down there :)
DeleteI had to use the therapeutic mounting block to get on and off Harley while I was pregnant. Do you know if you are having a boy or girl?
ReplyDeleteIs that one of the really tall ones? I need one of those!!! Henry is 16.2 and that's too far to jump down from lol!
DeleteIt's another girl :) more ponies!!
Sounds like a fab way to spend the weekend, loved all the photos on instagram :D
ReplyDeleteYou guys are gonna rock the derbies & look super in the Shadbelly!
Hopefully we can get back in shape and do them!
DeleteI miss CA and the who 70 degree thang... I looked at that shadbelly too but umm i dont ride in hunter derbys i just want one. :D
ReplyDeleteYep can't complain about the weather!
DeleteI'm hoping we can do a Derby next season, we shall see :)
Curious to see which Shad you end up getting! I have zero advice on the subject! Looks like it was a fun weekend- always good to be at a show!
ReplyDeleteYes love being at the shows :)
DeleteI'll be sure to post pics when it arrives!
They have those on eBay often - for under $100 :)
ReplyDeleteblast! oh well i already ordered it haha!
DeleteYay Henry! I'm glad the shoes helped. Hopefully you'll be able to get a ride soon. Also happy you had such nice weather. I'm hoping those kind of days get more frequent soon hehe.
ReplyDeleteRight the weather being nice is awesome! (tho its raining now haha)
DeleteYeah we will have to figure out the riding thing lol :)
