Me and T

I FINALLY got some riding pictures of me and Thea!! Don't we look cute?? :) She was good today, with only the occassional indication that she did not want to move forward. And it only took a bit of persuasion on my part to convince her that yes, we do have to walk. LOL Still no canter... she's not willing to move forward enough at this point. Not sure if I should use my dressage whip or spurs? Would rather not go to those if I can help it. I'll give her a few more rides before I take further action :P






I also got a few cute pictures of her out in the paddock earlier in the day.





I have got to tame that mane of hers... it looks so wild and unkept! Speaking of wild and unkept, she was acting like an "airhead" (Angela's words :P) when I took her into the indoor arena for a walk around. The NSAC Equestrain Team tryouts were this afternoon, and after they were done we got a few minutes to go into the ring. She thought everything was so spooky, even the other horses. But the scariest thing was hearing the people walk across the grandstand (echo-y). You'd think she'd never had been in an indoor! Haha. When she in fact had only ever been ridden in an indoor before she came here :) What a silly girl. It was good for her to see the new sights and sounds though. She got quieter toward the end of our walk and wasn't trotting around at the end of the leadrope.

I hope to ride again tomorrow... if I haven't been wiped out by the kennel duties at 6 AM and 12 PM. haha. Last day though! And we only have 2 more weeks this semester where we have to do kennel duty. Thats all for now... I should probably start studying for my 5 tests next week... haha
