So I’ve had Tali nearly a year. I was hoping to have done much more with her than I have but we’ve had lots of fun all the same.
A friend of mine has suggested I take her to a winter woolies show in a couple of weeks time. She’s offering to take us as she lives along the road. She is taking her old chilled mare who would hopefully be a good influence for Tali. She’s good but can be active, pawing for attention and throwing her head up etc.
There is in hand classes I could take her in so no pressure to ride and overwhelm her completely. (Although if she’s good and enjoying the day out theres a class we could walk and trot in.)
so do you think a show day is too big a step for a first outing. She’d have a companion she’s fond of although not spent a whole lot of time together. The shows about 12 miles away so not too long but she’s not travelled since she’s arrived. It would be at in indoor school but I don’t know if she’s ever been in one. I don’t care about winning anything (fortunately as she’s a bit overweight atm and tbh I’m not doing a full bath at this time of year with a winter coat) but I do want to get her out and about and get myself in the riding club scene.
so what do you think? It won’t be a big show, quite a quiet one really. Will I be asking too much of her?
