Spring Fever.....I wanna ride.

Show season is slowly creeping closer and closer :)

     Although riding Ryn @ Infinity farm is going well, I want to actually WORK Duellsa and Dixie. Ryn is doing great, her fitness is starting to catch up. She is finally starting to lose the "TB dip" right in front of her wither on her neck. YAY! She had a week off (ish) I was still lunging (lunging. longing which one is right?!) her. The pressure from being double blanketed due to -20* weather made her wither sore. Ew. I felt really bad because in that time two people came and looked at her, and she was obviously uncomfortable and so out of character for her. She was just not being Ryn at all. It was a bit embarrassing because they got the wrong impression of her. She is such a sweet mare. So after taking her blankets off during the day, even if it was just for an hour. It helped a ton she is literally back to the old Ryn <3. I jumped her tonight! She was calm, and actually thinking of what-when-how to do things!

    I had Audrey Bean C-3 prep on the 21st, we worked on switch rides. It was very interesting. I think that is one of my strong points for my C-3, due to the fact that I have been put on horses no one want to ride since I was like....9, and I ride so many different horses all the time. (Thank you Gail!) This prep was just flat work, but this coming weekend is jumping switch rides! Woo!

       This past weekend I was actually able to get Duelli out on the snowmobile trails this weekend! She was a little cautious about the sound and look of the snowmobiles. She exceeded my expectations though! On the second day she was much better, and we even got a good gallop on the "Racing hill." I always try to get my horses out there to experience weird/funny things. You never know what will happen at a show! (2007, Dixie's 1st XC competition.... Attack of the fox. Enough said.) I have been able to do W-T work for a couple of weeks now and that is going really well!  I'm so excited for May! Hopefully April be will dry and wonderful so I can get some cross country in before UNH.

     My birthday was on Friday!! The big 17! I had a fantastic birthday day, and party! My four friends and I went to the mall! If you know me, you know I am not the most fashionable person. I have more riding attire than regular clothes. If I was in high school, I'd probably give up and just wear breeches everyday. Anyway, it was tons of fun, and I got a few nice things! Oh, and they made me try on dresses. I'm not even sure I'll post them on here cause I'm odd when it comes to formal wear. Haha. I'll get you back for this guys!
