Gosh, eventful few days! Sick, coughing/sneezing up blood, Kascades first ride, Long reining, 5 assignments, a group task, someone took my clothes while I was in the shower, chased around college with a lunge whip, UGH!
When beginners have been riding your horse for the past month and you come back and your horse doesn't know ANYTHING. SIGH. I asked her to back up and NOT toss her head. Simple task right? Not to her, she reared in the air and started to freak out. Something she's only done a couple times. Oh pony you've GOT to be kidding me!! She also cut the corners, wouldn't move off my leg, kept her nose in the air, rushed all the transitions, galloped instead of cantered, backing up was all of a sudden a HUGE deal especially backing up while staying collected, she was EXTREMELY stiff in her neck, she threw up her head when I put the bit in her mouth...oh seriously. Worked a LOT yesterday and had a HORRIBLE ride but it was worth it. Today was kinda meh. I'm sure tomorrow'll be better but it's just frustrating to have to 're train' your horse when you had her as a PERFECT show horse. Even though she's retired from showing, I still want her to BEHAVE! SIGH!!! I'll be done with her and moving on to Maverick on September 1st and then the beginner who'll be riding her can do what she wants with her. She doesn't care about collection and stuff so I don't think she'll have problems. And she'll learn how to deal with her as she gets more expirienced. In the meantime I'll be training Maverick. Whoohoo! lol
Video I just made. Please watch and tell me what you think? It isn't as good as others that I've seen...my movie program isn't advanced AT ALL. But anyway :p
