i’m alive, i promise :)

  i’m so sorry for being gone for so long, posting wise. glad to say i have quite a few updates!

  since i’ve posted, i’ve showed twice in hunt seat on the flat, as well as equitation pattern. placed in every class, fourth or higher! i’m very proud of the horses i worked with, chai and patrick, as they hadn’t showed before this.

  overall i haven’t really been working on my eq lately, and have been more so focused on working with the horses on themselves. i’ve got a pretty solid position, therefore i can handle working with the horses.

  i did fall off a few weeks ago :sob: all to my own fault. i was riding patrick bareback and it was super windy, and our arena has a big drop off the side outside of the fence. in that corner, i asked him to canter and right as i asked for the transition he spooked. it wasn’t that bad of a fall, i just bruised my lower back a bit and laughed it off.

pictured above is george, who i don’t believe i’ve introduced to you all yet. he’s about 9 years old, and a thoroughbred gelding who i’ve been working with. he lacks some muscle through his topline and hindquarters, and that’s been our main focus. he’s a very nice ride under saddle, moving quite large for his size. though a bit uncoordinated at the canter, it’s a work in progress.

  yet another horse is in the mix for me right now - a 20ish year old mustang mare. her name is shyanne, and she is the lightest horse i’ve ever ridden. she really only goes western, and i haven’t put an english saddle on her yet. her owner had hip surgery and entrusted me with the role of schooling her while she’s out.

  that’s all for now. i’ll be posting my yearly update again probably next year :sob: . bye for now!
