I was hoping to get a critique on my new lease! Conformation wise and movement wise, I don't have any riding videos yet, but they'll be here soon!
Fannie Mae:
- 9 Year Old Paint Cross
- Registered with the American Warmblood Society
- Previously used as a low level eventing horse
Fannie came to me from a summer camp where I used to work. She was purchased this fall for the advanced students to ride this summer, since her purchase she has not been used regularly. Before that she was not in regular work either, just sitting in a field with an odd ride now and then. I'm going to get to keep her through May and hopefully I'll be able to afford for her to come back to me this fall.
Since I've had her we've been working on re-learning how to use herself and accepting contact. Last night my instructor gave me a Myler level one to put her in and she LOVED it. She thinks the snaffle she was in was getting her in the roof of her mouth and that was the reason for her quickness and refusing to go round and trotting around with her head in the air. I'll have to get new video of her in the Myler, she's a new happy horse!!
Anyway, tell me what you think!

She lunges a whole lot better when I'm not holding the camera. With the new Myler bit I'm hoping when we lunge she'll actually start searching for the contact, but we'll see.
And a cute one, just because!
