My 4 yr old, three months of work (matchy sort of!)

[Halfstep]

Various things have got in the way of my plans for my Breitling mare, meaning that we missed all the 4 yr old qualifiers and she's ended up having to have some time off as I've been injured. Anyway, she's back in work and back on track, having gone right back to total baby work after her break. She seems to be remembering what she's learned, and I think she's coming along nicely. I'd like to hear what you think! The big improvement for me is her relaxation in her frame and acceptance of taking the bit forward, as originally she was inclined to "hide" behind the bit and shorten her neck and tighten her back (which did make her throw her front lets up high, but is fundamentally incorrect).

Just stunning I might steal her, so watch out!!
Nothing to say really other than she looks like she's heading 100% in the right direction!

She's beautiful, looks so relaxed and willing. I love the second trot photo, it's stunning!

She's going to be a real stunner, looking fab, very promising for the future. Lucky you

Lovely horse, she looks quite established already for a 4 year old! And very willing

The second trot and first canter photos are just lovely

Love her concentrating ears!

Are you going to do the 5 year old classes with her next year?

 

[Halfstep]

Thanks everyone, she's a sweetie, but has a spark with it! Sharp as nails, bless her. She takes a bit of riding.

Yes, she'll do the five year olds next year fingers crossed, and a few Prelims and novices later this year. No rush.

She looks fantastic - I really like the 1st and 2nd pics.

Shame about the 4 yr old classes but you have lots of time - looking forward to updates.

Glad she is doing well, particularly like the first canter photo.

She's divine! Very jealous.

Look forward to lots of updates

Why bless you all, you are too kind!

I've got a very busy month and am going away on holiday, but hopefully I'll get her out towards the end of August maybe, Open Prelim, just to see how she reacts. I can't wait to get my jacket on again, it has been bloomin ages.
