So let me start this post by saying I have no idea what they are actually looking for in an In Hand Trail class. I knew I needed to use this time for schooling, so I just kind of did my thing and hoped it would turnout well in the end. So here I am [...]

My first time showing in hand – Part 3
Posted in Horse, Horse Show, tagged Horse, horses on September 29, 2010 | 7 Comments »
The pattern for halter was much less intense then the one for showmanship. It was basically a straight line to the judge with a turn right at the end. I knew that my borrowed Pinto was both cute and put together well so when it was my turn to go I got a big smile [...]
My first time showing in hand – Part 2
Posted in Horse, Horse Show, tagged Horse, horses on September 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
So luckily I got to watch a few people go before it was my turn. The my adorable pinto didn’t seem to care at all that he was at a show, which I took as a good sign. The pattern started with a square halt to a trot in a straight line to the judge [...]
My first time showing in hand – Part 1

So I just realized that I never wrote up my first in hand show! I wanted to make sure to do it this week because…drum roll please…I have my second one (and last show of the year) on Saturday. Please ignore my outfit, I don’t know what I was thinking…I clearly wanted to look frumpy [...]
Still Scared…but I did a canter half pass!
Posted in Horse, Schoolmaster, tagged Horse, horses on September 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »
So I am still a bit weary of the Schoolmaster. I know I should be over my little spill by now, but for some reason it is still making me nervous. I have always had fear issues with riding. When I first started with my trainer 13 year ago I had been riding for several [...]
My Poor Pony…
Posted in Gennyral, Horse, tagged Horse, horses on September 25, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I feel so bad for Gennyral right now. He is not a hot weather horse. He never has been and I don’t think he ever will be. Add to that the fact that Gen gets a nice, healthy, thick winter coat every year and this time of year is hard for him. You see, we [...]

that you have to share it. Check out the post today from Tucker the Wunderkind I often wonder what it must be like to be horseless. I got a taste of it going back from two horses to just my Gen and two rides a week. I cannot imagine my life without going to the [...]

So with only 3 days to go until WEGs a lot of people are in fever pitch. I am sad to say that while I think it is cool…I am not that terribly excited. I am looking forward to reading the Regarding Horses Blog and watching the NBC coverage Sunday at Noon, but I am [...]
