I love pony club. [insert sarcasm here]
I do love pony club.We just have a love/hate relationship. My mind is overflowing with C-3 and H-B knowledge.
So, sadly I was not able to go to the NER Pony Club Rendezvous this year! :( The Friday before, I was so sick. To the point that I could not keep sips of water down. My parents almost took my to the hospital so I could get some fluid in me! At the time that they were debating, I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning feeling much better! That is till I stood up. Then I felt dizzy, nauseous, and so incredibly weak. So Rendezvous was a no go. I was so sad that I was not able to go. It is one of the only times I can see the southern pony clubber's, and I bought a dress too! (Yep, a dress.....I was made by Jessica Champagne <3)
On a pony note, Ryn is doing great! I've been working on her jumping a little more now that her fitness is getting better. I cannot believe how fast she is progressing. When I got her, it was almost like she was literally scared of the jump, and not in "Green horse" type of way. She also had a very dirty duck. That has all gone away now! After many jumping sessions that consist of bounces, and one strides, with poles here there and every where. She is finally getting this jumping thing. On the 14 of March I jumped her. I did an exercise where there was 3 jumps with one stride in between on one long side, and a 2"6 vertical on the other long side. So I'd weave from the 1st jump on the combo, do a 15 meter circle to the 2nd jump, and do another 15 meter circle to the 3rd one. Sounds odd, but what happens with her is she stresses and doesn't think when she jumps. Keeping the thought in my mind of "Dressage over fences" keeps her a bit calmer as well. Yay Ryn!
Duelli & Dixie have been doing well at home! I've been able to ride them a few times in the past 2 weeks and you wouldn't know they just got 3 months off. That's always fantastic, right? I hope to work them more consistently now, or work them till stuff starts melting and it gets ridiculously icey again. Oh, Maine.

Now to stay alive while dealing with two, one year old bassets with cones on their heads from being neutered! (Thank God for Rimadyl !)
