brown horse won his first ever frilly :)

[Jesstickle]

He was fifth in his stressage test (rather generously I think but as we got a pink rossie I won't complain )

Here is the old boy sporting said frilly. I apologise for the half plaited mane, I ran out of time for falsies!

I have a couple of little bits of vid but I'm not brave enough to post them and they're really short anyway.

I am almost proud of him today. Almost!

You cant say you have vids then not post them!

Clever brown horse for getting a frilly!

 

[Kokopelli]

Not so much of a knobber now?
He looks very pleased with himself and a pink one is always the best.

Well done.

Clever boy. Well done, he's gorgeous.

I dunno K, there were definite elements of knobberisness in the second test! He bucked and everything. No one else's horse bucked. Or tried to canter off down the long side.

I am going to focus on the first test though which was very sweet and willing

 

[millhouse]

He's really lovely. Well done the two of you.

Long drove at Somersham. It's about half an hour away. Very nice low key place and everyone was very friendly

Well done! Lovely pink rosette on a gorgeous boy

What a clever boy to win such a pretty frilly. Like your headcollar - who makes it please?

Dressage today - first of the Winter Series at local centre, one horse left arena at the first corner at 100miles an hour - only been off the track a few weeks. As these are a training series judge allowed horse back in where he proceeded to do a passable test.

Interesting though - yesterday was the start of the duck shooting season and centre lies along side the Waikato river - one gunshot! no a full volley of them - we expected there to bodies (humans) littered everywhere - but nothing even flicked an ear but later there were some school horses in a lower paddock and horses could only see horse eating monsters - it was very entertaining as horse after horse riding around the arena pirouetted and departed.

Ooo, looks lovely, and they have useful dates! Was the warm-up on a surface? (Sorry for all the Qs!)

 

[black_horse]

Pink is his colour. But think red would suit him better, tell him to buck his ideas (excuse the pun) and behave.

 

[Jesstickle]

dh, but your hoss actually did a nice test! I saw you! Mine was a knobber in prelim7! And he did load up for you to come home at least

E, headcollar is made by Eskadron and is an absolute life saver with big bolshy warmbloods!

V, warm up is on a surface but it isn't very big. The surface they have there is absolutely lovely though and beautifully maintained
