British Dressage Trainers in the North West

[ QUOTE ]
Your new boy is lovely... and I bet he would do just as well, if not better, than most warmbloods in a dressage competition!

I would like to get Grace affiliated this year, hopefully sooner rather than later as she will be 6 in May so if she has any chance of the 6 year old classes we have a lot of work to do before then!

Me and new lad have a long way to go

. He knows a whole lot more than I do but only if I ask him absolutely correctly will he go correctly. He's a great teacher! I'm having to re-learn to ride as he goes entirely from weight aids... I've never really ridden purely from using abdominal muscles, inner/upper thigh, butt cheeks etc. When I get it right though he's amazing.

Looking at the photos you've posted of Grace I'm sure you'll easily affiliate this year. You've done a great job. I want to get out there too by the summer but I've gotta start getting a lot better very soon

I know what you mean about fitness levels... Grace is very sensitive to weigh aids even though she has never really been ridden, so I cannot imagine how you are feeling riding him. Just think you will be completely toned now!

Did you decide on a name by the way?
 
I wish I was toned! Need to be a whole lot more. Bought a gym ball the other day to improve things... sad thing is I haven't even got round to blowing it up yet

Still haven't settled on a stable name... he's still Ingrato in full. Nothing else really seems to suit him and he certainly recognises his name... maybe he'll inherit a nickname over time
