I

So a lot has happened sense I last blogged. School has started, Allegro and I have been jumping more, Coach is staying kind of idle and my days are full of school and riding lessons. A couple weeks ago Erin and I had a lesson with Eve and we did a lot of jumper courses to prepare for our upcoming jumper show. On Saturday I had a horse show at Stoneleigh and rode my favorite pony there, Monty. Over all it was a really fun day, I smiled and almost laughed my way through my whole jumping course I was having so much fun and didn’t have as much fun in my flat test and in my flat class but overall it was actually a really great time. Yesterday Carly, Molly, Kaylee, Erin, and I went for a long trail ride in the state forest followed by a little jumping on the x-country course followed by Molly, Carly, Erin, and I clearing an old trail and building a bunch of new jumps on it. Today I had no school so I lugged a couple more maple syrup buckets and poles into the field and made up a five jump course with a bending line a two stride line and a one stride line. I did a bunch of flatting to start out with and Allegro had A TON of energy so I went on to jumping. She ended up having too much energy to even jump so I took her out on the road and we galloped for about 4 miles straight and she was still jigging when I got home. I cooled her out and went onto playing the seven games with Coach. I had a weekend full of horses and that’s the way I like it. This coming weekend I have an IEA horse show at Biscuit Hill Farm followed by a jumper show on Sunday at Mount Holyoke. I am crossing my fingers that Allegro will find a way to burn off a lot of energy this week so she isn’t as crazy as she was today at the show but we’ll see. It will be a learning experience. I will post pictures and the results in the next couple of weeks.
