OMG!!! how could you think that i could give up riding!!!!!! HORSES ARE MY LIFE!! READ my about me section!!! lol.
Oh no! How did Kate fall off? I guess i would be cross if i fell off too. That's good, does that mean Sarah bet you. (=D) lol.
hello Geoff, how are you today? Georgia and me are going to go to melbourne to ride for S.A for inter state champs, we are soooo
exited. georgia and i did very well at our dressage, i got the most points in my dressage in my age group and came 2nd over all ( in showman )
and forgot what els i got. i will tell you when i remember. (o:
Hi Geoffrey,
It sounds like it's going to be a fun event. Hopefully you'll both be in the ribbons! Be sure to let me know how it goes. Very nice that you both ride! My husband and I do karate together, but I don't think I could ever get him up on a horse!
I don't think I'll be competing at all this year. I have competed for years and years and recently my focus has gone elsewhere. Although you never know, I may get the bug later in the summer and head out to a couple of shows. In the meantime, I am enjoying chipping away at some of the really tough dressage movements and going out on hacks, now that the weather is somewhat warmer. I've posted some new photos on my page of me and some friends about to go out for our first hack. Check them out! :)
Karate class was much better last night. I just willed myself to stay focused for the hour!
Hi Geoffrey,
Yes I'm pretty well back on track. The weather here is finally a bit warmer and I've been working, then going on nice long hacks. We are right beside a regional forest, so very lucky to be able to go for miles!
I also train in karate, and my fitness level is nowhere near where it needs to be for that. The classes are an hour long and I'm all high-energy for the first half, then I slowly fade. It's not nearly as instinctive for me as riding, so when I lose my focus, I don't go on automatic pilot like I sometimes do when I'm on my horse.
I'm off to class this evg, so hopefully, I'll be able to push myself through the whole 60 minutes!
What kind of show are you off to? An event? Hunter/jumper?
How lousy that you all have the flu. I hope it's not the stomach flu. That's the WORST!!
This was on Sunday at the Showjumping Day I mentioned a few weeks ago...we did a 45cm Freshmans to warm up, then 60cm AM7, then 60cm Freshmans. It was a fantastic day, really relaxed, well run and no pressure!
El picked up 4th in the Unofficial (not bad for a first comp) and me and Bailey just had a great time! lol...I love this horse, he is just so professional, took great care of me (I'm not scared of uprights anymore! Whoo!)...El's boy Bob had a bit of a scare at the haybales, which were obviously living on a steady diet of QH Paint pony, but she got him over them...hehehe.
There are some videos up on Youtube, links on my page :D :D Adding more pics as I type...
Another new horse? You seem to have new ones coming in all the time now! What do you think of this TB so far, and what do you plan to use him for if you decide to buy? I heard from Timika that Nick's riding Lochie now, and doing some pretty impressive stuff! Go him.
My life prety much revolves around revising at the moment, due to the upcoming exams. I'll be able to ride more often when they're over, in the huge park near where we live. They (the school) are already pressuring us about uni applications so that's concerning, just getting the results I need for courses. I'm applying to Cambridge for Medicine(unlikely to happen,but worth a try), The Royal Veterinary College, and Durham Uni for Biomedical Science.
Hope all's well at Inman Valley,

From the wisdom of Centuries to modern day’s theories, flexing the horse’s upper line, or vertebral column, is achieved by shortening the horse’s lower line, involving abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, and flexion of the neck.
