Nothing worse than typing up half a post and accidentally hitting the back button. /rolls eyes heavward
Let's sum up with: Hey, the Big Red Mare wasn't a total lazy bum today. Which is good, because her draft ass is too heavy to hold up. It wasn't as fun as LAST lesson, but well, we can't extended canter eeevery time. Did a lot of "hey, get off the reins" work.but that's better than "no, this is how we don't cut corners" work.
She's going to be showing 1st level next time out! I'm looking forward to seeing how she does. I'm not sure who is showing her--Kim, her owner, or maybe Diane. I know Diane is taking Butter one of these next couple of shows--she doesn't get to show HERSELF much when she's toting all the students along. :)
(I still say Butter is a goofy name for the mare--she's a Champagne Appaloosa, imagine the fun you could have with show names for a horse like that. No, she's Buttercream. Pfft.)
Other than New York the Dutch WB, my trainer has the Unconventional Dressage Horse brigade--two POAs, an Appaloosa, a Vanner cross pinto, and a Belgian. Oh, and one Welsh something maybe cross? who knows bay pony.
