had first lesson on new horse

[Malibu]

Sunday- I had a flatwork lesson with Les Smith on my new horse (Rupert), It was hard work, i ahve not ridden propely for over a month!!! I learnt alot and it was good to finally get working propely with Ru! Les really like dhim and i found i had 6 spectators at one point! LOL

So i have the opportunity to perform a test for Sally Merrison/Juniors and Young riders chief selector! Test 30 which Ru can do off the backof his hoof, but i am going to work my ass off to get us working as a team etc!

So i am very excited as that is my main aim at the mo, so 5TH Oct i will let you all know how i get on! I perform a test the Sally goes ove rmy weaknesses etc! cant wait!

will hvae him looking lovly thought i might put white bow things not sure what they are called, in his mane! LOL

Eek how exciting Les is grest isn't he.

Loads of luck with the

selector

 

[Malibu]

white tape his name

what does that mean?

 

[Nic]

When you see dressage horses with the white round each individual plait in their mane it is usually white tape. Though you can get bows & funny little white bands.

 

[Malibu]

oh do you guys not like it?

 

[Weezy]

No - unless a horse is working ABSOLUTELY correctly with flexion from the poll and not at the 3rd vertabrae - it just shows it off and makes any inconsistancies glaringly obvious!

 

[Malibu]

oh well i might try it as he had it on when i went to see him and it looking very striking, really stood out which is what i want, when Sally M is coming to watch!!!!
