Snow, Quiz, and Horsey adventures.

     Snow, snow, snow. We got a very cruel April Fools day joke! We got a foot and a half of snow. Not funny Mother nature! Haha. So the horses stayed in for the day, occasionally out for a few minutes to stretch. It was a great lazy, movie day!
 

     Saturday was the Northeast Region Quiz Rally. We had two D teams participate, one Sr. D team and a JR. D team. I didn't compete for the 1st time in 4 years! I helped out with Megaroom. After of counting a very long day of counting way to many 2's our club did fabulous! The Jr D's got 3rd place, and the Sr D's got 4th place! I was really proud of our teams. We usually get a 7th. (The purple ribbon, which is our teams color.) Good job guys! While there I did decide I'm going to do my H-B, thanks to Jessica C. She's also going to go for her H-B. We are going to have a local prep with Caitlin Donahue.(A local "A" ponyclubber) That would be GREAT! I want to also try to meet up with Marina DiMarco, she did her H-B and C-3 in 2010. (Marina's Blog). Hopefully is will go well :)

    Today I was able to RIDE! AH! I am so happy. There was a 15 meterishh circle at the far end of my pasture, right by the road. It had O.K. footing. Good enough to do  little riding :)
I rode Dixie 1st and she was pretty good. She just had way to much energy for her own good! Silly girl. A couple spooks here and there, but over all we had a nice little ride. She was really stretchy, so we just rode long and low for this ride. To the footing wasn't as great as I thought so I didn't want to ask to much of her.
Then it was Duellsa's turn!  I forget about how short I have had Duell. (since Oct.) and how little training she's had. (Broke by Me and my instructor in Nov.) We were walking up to my little circle I had made with Dixie, and she stopped and wouldn't go. After a few running spooks, couple bucks, and lots of encouraging words. She was finally confident enough to go by the road. Our road is SUPER busy, with log trucks, annoying people thinking they are funny to BEEP at me when I ride, and load mufflers. After about 15mins of just changing direction and keeping her brain busy, she was blowing, snorting, and when she'd spook it was in place not taking off! :) She is so smart, and picks up on things SO quick.

So thats my past few days :D
