Monday

Jennifer went down for the first time today!!! It was a lot of fun and she had a lot of fun taking pictures lol:) Sky was as good as he always is....such a cutie! Enjoyed the 50 degree weather, last days of warmth.

BRRRRR

It was soo cold last night at the stables. I saddled him up and worked for about 10 minutes then went to the bareback fun!!! We used to be so good at it but then Sky had that freaky stage.....i havent ridden him bareback since last march or so.:( ohh well practice makes perfect!! Headin down monday....maybe today.

Lesson

My lesson was a good one again. We worked on jumping!!! We had a couple of great jumps, and then we worked on striding inbetween two ground poles, on one side we had to collect to get three, the other side we had to extend to get three!! It was fun but hard work. Heading down today......might ride bareback!

Lesson and Saturday

My lesson went great........dressage lesson. We actually did freestyles to music and i had to remember a whole pattern. The music was James Bond...adn then one to Shania Twain. It was a lot of fun. Saturday was great, I worked on jumping in the outdoor. He was great!!! Sky has switched fields for the winter so that they can replant that one

Wenesday

Two pics from the video they are blurry but good! More pics tomorrow!


Sky was great. Very forward and perky and happy, but great. He loves his new home and has made some pretty good friends. His best bud is now in the stall right beside him and they are out to pasture together. How much better can life get? I jumped him in the outdoor, talking about speedy, the video below is good and he jumped the second high, almost a run-out but i caught him in time, an almost buck afterward too! He was just happy:)

Lesson

My lesson was great!!!!! We worked on jumping a line. The first was a jump about a foot and a half, the second was a ground pole, and the third was the same height as the first. After jumping, i had to work at transitions in walk trot and canter, and transistions within the gaits.....all in two point! I was in 2-point for like 10 minutes. Then the rest of the lesson, we worked on his dressage and hunter frames, leg yeilding, shoulder ins, and i had to do all of that at a sitting trot.....yuck!

Saturday

Its been cold out and Sky has been wearing his brown sheet that matches the brown in on his head perfectly. :) I love how clean and silky he stays underneath! I rode him in the indoor to warm him up, then took him up to the outdoor. I jumped him around and he was being soo good that I decided to walk him around the outdoor (they have a strip mowed the wholeway around so you can go outside the ring and cool them down and take a mini trail ride). We got down to the far end and he legit hopped! all four feet came of the ground lol straight up. He was literally scared by a groundhog.....like hes never seen one before. What a baby :) It was very interesting! My lesson last Wednesday went great, we jumped and worked bounces and jumping on a circle. It was a lot of work.....but very fun. Lesson on Monday night this week!!!!!!!

Lately

Sky has been great lately! We have ridden in the outdoor a few times and ridden in the indoor once and worked on poles. I also had a lesson. I have been enjoying the outdoor and having room to jump. On saturday, a rode and then took him on a path between pine trees and a pasture, and trotted him on the lead. It was a lot of fun and its good to know he still listens outside.
