Well after a long ,dark and cold Winter, me and Ari had our first public appearance - We went and did some Intro Dressage ;D A very low key affair, but a great place for a youngsters first outing! He hasn't been off the yard since October, so i was thrilled when he loaded and travelled no probs  . He warmed up with other horses for the first time too and went in to a strange indoor school  VERY proud of him today, as his attitude was just fab The icing on the cake was that he won both his classes on 69% and 72%  ......Love my boy  L.xx |

Well done Mrs and your boy !
It takes a lot out of you emotionally getting started but is a real confidence builder for you both when all goes well.
Onwards and upwards !

Well done L, you must be really chuffed with your boy. I had my first outing last week on my new boy at dressage but I wasn't as lucky as you. We didn't even manage to do our test, he was terrified by it all. Poor me man |

Warming up at the Dressage can be a bit hairy ...I was there about an hour before anyone else, so i could get on before it got buzzy. L.x |

Hi L I've joined the ranks of the ex racehorse owners  He's the most chilled out man at home so it was totally out of the blue when he turned into a quivering jelly who would only go backwards at the competition. Think some more practice is needed . Kaz is enjoying bossing him about but she loves him really. Say hi to Coleen and Spree x |
