Yeahh, haven’t had the chance to blog lately, haha (;
SHOW THIS PAST WEEKEND !
Dressage; schooling. We were going to do the costume contest, but my trainer ended up getting the times wrong, & orignially, it was thought to be Sunday afternoon, but ended up being noon Saturday. With my brother visiting & all, there was no way for me to get out there. That’s ok – Airborn wasn’t all that thrilled to be a bunny anyway, haha. A lady who goes all out ended up winning. She was like a stegasaurus & her horse sported a full-body suit. Good grief. Time to grow up, much?
My friend, Caity, did it but Twister spooked at the dinosaur. They only made like half a lap around before he got too spooky. He was Elvis & she was Priscilla. Disappointing, but hey…
Airborn was fantab. We did Intro B & Training 1. OK, first canter test, right? He was SO good! We picked up the wrong lead, but quickly corrected. That was probably what caused the most loss of points, but it doesn’t matter. He was perfect otherwise. We got 2nd in Intro & 3rd in Training. (:
Oh oh oh! We schooled on Saturday… ran through our tests a few times. During the free walk for Intro, I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention, & Airborn sort of just… walked out of the arena. Haha. Dressage ring fences are small – like a foot or so high. But Airborn didn’t clear it – he managed to get his hoof stuck between the vinyl panels. Brooke freaks out, going, “Get off! Get off!” Airborn keeps walking, the section of fencing around his leg – he was absolutely calm, it was amazing. I jump off, halt him, and Brooke wrestles the fencing off his leg while Airborn stands patiently. Other trainers are praising him, & we were just… embarassed. Airborn didn’t freak out ! My 6-year-0ld horse handled it so well =]] He was fine afterwards – no cuts or marks.
Ehh. Dinner & homework.
