I've been having problems memorising the tests for the show tomorrow. So I made a mini-arena in the entranceway to my house.

Yes I am truly pathetic LOL. My kids think I've come up with this cool new game where they can dance around the room to the letters LOL!!

So I thought I'd share so you can have a Friday laugh as well.:lol:

^^^ Gotta see this...

I did this as well, But it was in my backyard...the Dogs chased me around.

Great mini arena. Looks like it needs a Breyer horse and it is official.

 

[my2geldings]

That is hilarious! such a clever idea! Your brain can remember and understand things better than it sees and hears what it is its supposed to do. Do you have the option of having someone read the test for you?

Good luck!

 

[BurningAmber520]

I think thats a great idea! I think ill be doing the same thing when it gets closer to ambers debut dressage show in May..

And that video was hilarious!! I laughed really loud and my dog came running over to see if I was ok, lmao! Too funny!

 

[JumpingTheMoon]

LMAO I love the video!

I told my friend who is going with me with her horse, that we'd be better off taking coconuts (monty python thing I guess lol).

I did have the option of someone calling it out for me but it got all discombobulated. I actually did this "mini-arena" and then went and did the test last night and was surprised I remembered it LOL!

The proof is in the pudding they say, and tomorrow is show day. Three classes *gulp*

Good luck even if you get really nervouse jus smile and look like your havea good time, and the judges will like that! I had a judge write down on my test scores nad such that I needed to smile cause dressage is fun! lol my trainer cracked up at that!

 

[HorsePride]

Good luck doing the dressage test! I don't think it's a stupid idea, though it is funny!

 

[speedy da fish]

haha i do that! and i may also use toy horses ... or the dog

 

[IslandWave]

haha, that's awesome. My BO used to have her kids literally run through the test on her rectangular living room rug. xD Once I was at the beach (had a mini vacation right before a show) and I made a mini arena with the rocks in the sand and used my fingers as the horse to practice the test. I've heard that reading your test(s) back to someone can help. I like finding YouTube videos of the test to help me remember it, but I also like just tracing them out on a piece of paper.

 

[Bubbles101]

HAHAHA! O my gosh...epic video

 

[PaintsPwn]

I've been having problems memorising the tests for the show tomorrow

Wouldn't happen to be heading to Trinity EC would ya?

 

[JumpingTheMoon]

Majestic Farms I think. Are you going?

 

[PaintsPwn]

Weird timing on their parts then! Trinity is having a schooling show. I'm going to the one at Trinity. Haven't decided whether or not I'm showing or observing.

 

[JumpingTheMoon]

Ohhh very cool. I say show!
There's a bunch coming up, and evena combined training show at CAF soon, are you going to that?

 

[PaintsPwn]

... CAF? XD Sorry for my lack of knowledge, the shows I know about mainly are near-ish to me, or breed shows

 

[JumpingTheMoon]

COme Again Farms, I think they're in Sheridan or Lafayatte.

 

[jumper25]

Haha! Me and my friend always used to do that on a rectangular rug! I also like tracing it out on paper but it gets kindof confusing when you do that! Good luck with your test!

 

[JumpingTheMoon]

Well we did pretty good so I guess it worked LOL!

 

[PaintsPwn]

Come Again Farms... That sounds very familiar. I've never been there, but I've heard of it. I can't remember where though! Their calendar doesn't seem to be updated - when is the show?
