Cavalettis! Kinda tough to see but there are 4 of them.
In progress.
Charlie's been quite good although a bit heavy. I've been doing a lot of canter-walk-canter transitions as well as some counter canter to get him thinking about where his body is. Everyday he feels stronger and stronger. We did trot sets in the rain on Sunday which kinda sucked but could have been worse. Good thing I don't live in the UK - I hate riding in the rain.
Ok, so it wasn't really raining more like drizzle but I still hate riding in the rain!
Just chilling before our ride this past Saturday.
So I've decided to never pull Charlie's tail as most eventers do. He has a great braiding tail and I'm going to practice until I've perfected the art. Any H/J folks want to give me some pointers?
Aren't they cute? 1 second after this, Lilo jumped back about five feet. She can't quite figure the horse thing out. But Charlie loves her anyway.
Tip of the day courtesy SuperMom: 1L Smart Water bottles make excellent boot trees. Way better than newspaper rolls.
I'm off to get hay tomorrow. Fingers crossed he has stuff as nice as what I got this spring - ponies hoover that stuff up like they're starving!
Love the cavalettis! They look really nice. For tail braiding, wet the hair down A LOT. That has been the biggest help to me, although I am no expert.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I hate pulled tails only slightly less than I hate those hideous shaved rat tails that are going on right now? I mean, toilet brush tails must be tamed, but beyond that, I like a full, pretty tail.
ReplyDeleteWinter schedule sounds like fun!
For christmas last year I got some fabric boot trees that came from TJ Maxx/Ross and they are amazing. Really keep the shape of the boot.
ReplyDeleteOMG that water bottle trick for boots is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI am so not for pulling tails... eek.
Love your project with your dad! Come make me some :)
Fathers are awesome. And so handy when it comes to the power tools.
ReplyDeleteNice new toys! Hopefully you and Super Mom can still come down to Pine Top Saturday! If not we need to meet up in the spring for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
