Horse shows, lessons, and horses

Indra

So, i know i have made a lot of posts recently, but recently a lot of stuff has happened. About a week before New Years i found a Canadian warmblood cross through my trainer and hoof trimmer. Abby is a 15.3hh amazing mare. Today Erin and I went to an SBS jumper show and Maybelle and Abby were amazing. Erin did the 2' and 2'3'' divisions, getting a second in both jump offs and fourth in one power and speed class. I did th 2'3'' and 2'6'' divisions, getting a fourth in my first power and speed, and then a second in my next power and speed. I forgot both of the jump off courses, resulting in us being disqualified. Claire and Kaylee came and groomed for us, and everyone froze their toes off in the brutally cold weather. We both had a great time and the mares were amazing! Abby's official owner Michele came and watched Abby and I compete, giving us advice. Eve also came by and coached both Erin and I and it was super helpful! we are planning on having a lesson with Eve every other week, at Back Acres, practicing our skills as riders, enhancing our horses skills, and just having fun. Over the winter, i am planning on building up on my jumper skills, memorizing courses, strengthening my bond and relationship with Abby. We just bought a Brenderup trailer from a friend, and hopefully i will be showing more because of that. My longtime goal for this summer is to make it to bigger jumper shows with Abby, and to make it further with Coach and Allegro. Signing off

New ring!

So I decided to delete my way too long last post and write this instead. I have been making plans with my dad for a while now about putting up a ring. Just yesterday my mom started bugging me about starting to ride my TB Coach. It's been quite a while since I actually have done some serious riding with him. I worked with him for a little while on the ground, and then deciding that he was ready for me to get on i put on his bridle and hopped up. Immediately started to do little crow hopes and headed towards the barn with a small rear. After he crossed the mud pit of a stream I threw myself off of the saddle, grabbed a lead rope, tied him up and headed into the house to ask my dad if he would set up the ring we had been talking about for ages! In about 20 minutes we had a new ring/round pen up. I had a very successful ride with him w/t/c. Hopefully by the end of the summer he will be able to join the HSS gang.
