Kai Photo Thread!

So all this rain means no riding :( maybe tomorrow afternoon if we don't get more rain I will be able to do a little walking without ruining the ground too much. It is so slick and boggy, riding in the arena just chews it up.
And hopefully tomorrow morning Kai will be getting his trace clip. He is sooooo fluffy! So seeing as I didn't want more water on the ground I decided to vacuum Kai instead of wash him. He was pretty good about it, was a little wary at first but after coaxing him with a bit of bread and a hug he was fine :)

Of course the only dry place with electricity is in front of the junk pile! So please excuse the crap in the background, it is in a yard with the garage, the ponies don't have access to this!







So fingers crossed he behaves tomorrow and there is no rain! I know he is going to look ridiculous with this half clip haha, but the poor boy is soooo fluffy!

What a perfect pony I have He was wonderful for the clipping. At first he was a little wary and we twitched him then he just zoned out. It took about 1.5 hours and the girl who did it was wonderful. It came out soo smooth, wish I could have him fully clipped but too unfair for him to be fully naked. So here are some after photos!

Standing up hill but those front feet are square, hooray


Other side


Snuggly


Then I hoped on


The ground is sooo wet :( I hope it dries fast but I think there is more wet weather on the way


Kai loves puddles


Taking him out to the paddock with Comanche waiting


But I had some other things to do first and bring him back up


I am so happy with my boy and he looks so adorable!

Aww Pinto lovely pictures. Haven't commented in awhile so thought I would! I love the "snuggly" pic from today, so cute!
The clip looks really good! My horses were gonna get traces this winter too, but since I broke my leg they've been turned out, so I just get to look at everyone elses clipped ponies! Might get them fully clipped as Spring arrives, Honey's already a wooly mammoth!
All the best!

There is mud everywhere but I decided to just take Kai for a spin anyway. We couldn't do much, just lots of walk and trot. So while we were out there mum came out for a few minutes and took a couple pics but it was pretty boring. So here are a couple of the pics for anyone who is interested in my totally boring ride...
He was rather hesitant about moving forward cause the ground was slick

But he was listening rather well


he looks so cute

Stepping out and his head goes up but a little more forward, never mind my weak arse legs

Splashing mud


Well thats it for today. Maybe on Thursday if we don't get more rain I will try riding after work.

First day of winter and very winter weather. Was drizzly all morning but just cloudy in the arvo. Mum had a kid over for a lesson on Spider so I just grabbed a lead and hopped on Kai bareback for a bit. Did some walking, steering with just my legs, halting with just my seat and he was wonderful. We did a teeny bit of canter too, I hate trotting Kai bareback he is so uncomfortable to trot cause he is so bouncy haha. So that was it. Just gave him lots of love and cuddles, he was being all cute and cuddly hehe. Mum was too busy to take pics or videos :P she was being a meanie. But I took my own couple of pics haha

All I see if fuzzy little ears

Hooray! After work today I rode in the mud :) I finished work at 4pm and rushed home and got ready as the sunset and rode for maybe 1/2 hour. We did lots of trotting, halts, walk as the ground is still very muddy but I did have some little canters. Then we did some trotting and cantering around the trail at the back, I tried to canter him through the water jump but he stopped dead and starting splashing! Gah, how embarrassing if he does this next weekend! We will practice again tomorrow haha. Mum took a photo and some little vids, they are pretty boring cause they are just our warm up trot as I was asking for some contact. He has major pony stride issues haha and I have major fat arse rising trot issues...

Strike a pose!


Trotting vids...
