As requested - My Dressage Update in Pictures!!

[VioletStripe]

So, here it is. Thought I'd do it differently and post it here in NL as it's the final instalment of my dressage - for now at least If you haven't read the update, go check it out also here in NL, explaining all of it. Called 'I *might* be in pegasus - a dressage update' not gonna repeat it as it's very rambley

Mum walking her round while I book in;

Me demonstrating how NOT to lead a horse

Warming up;

The test!!

Thundering round in canter;

Halt and salute.. or rather, shuffle forwards a few steps while saluting

Being given my rosette for that test;

Being given my other rosette;

Me being given my runner up champion rosette and trophy, you can see the plaque being held up by the woman beside me, by this point I was in floods of tears!

So, there we go. Dressage over for the moment, bring on the jumping!! Sorry if the pics aren't working or an odd size - I'm useless with Photobucket. Also just wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all you guys who have given me advice, read my updates and everything, and also a massive thank you to the knew owners of GM. No idea if the girl has an account, but eh Anyway, pimms/hot choccie and cake if you've read this far!! xx

I know, she's wonderful! The new owners are so lucky. And thank you!
And no, dressage is brilliant, but jumping will always rule. There is a very fine line between them though.. I'm now terrified I'll start to like dressage more xx

Well done. You must be over the moon. Pretty pony by the way.

 

[VioletStripe]

Thanks DM and she is, isn't she? I still prefer her without plaits, they make her forehead look very wide, and her already big ears huge Plus, plaits are a pain in the butt to do in the morning xx

 

[VioletStripe]

Ohhh have found some more lurking on my hard drive, just uploading them now.. they're pretty much the same thing though xx

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

YOU GO GIRL! Well done!!

 

[VioletStripe]

Found some more pics!! I'm not responsible if you die of boredom

The beginning of a test;

Trotting;

Starting a circle;

Just about to canter on a circle;

Reading the comments after!

And, a before and after. Personally, I think being privately owned has done her well! Plus, I *think* there is a mild improvement in my riding!

Befores;

And you've seen all the afters! And in the words of Looney Tunes; That's all, folks! xx

 

[VioletStripe]

YOU GO GIRL! Well done!!

Thanks TG! Can't wait to see your dressage pics!! xx

 

[MrsMozart]
