But he drained my horse show account by me acquiring him... so I have to wait for my next tax return, haha!<br /><br />I'm glad you don't think we're being overly ambitious!! I was concerned that I'm going to be expecting too much of him, but he'll be 7 by the time we compete next year and his world will have expanded tenfold in that time. Eek, big plans for baby horse! I think he'll look a little less like a baby as soon as he gets said weight and muscle too.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-37383951116677978132015-08-25T17:50:33.019-04:002015-08-25T17:50:33.019-04:00Aaaah love this!

Probably too late, though. :( We'll have to put together another field trip! <br /><br />I think the 1st thing is not so far off a goal. He seems really smart and willing, and pretty naturally gifted. Get a half halt through him and his balance figured out, and I think you can do it. (Of course his trot is smooth, he's lifting his back and using his abs already! Eee!)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-79585784228810873672015-08-25T17:46:51.074-04:002015-08-25T17:46:51.074-04:00Thank you!!

It's going to be big, but it's so smooth! Haha I look forward to sitting it! <br /> <br />I seriously wanted to bring him to loch moy this weekend for you to see in person (and sit on since there don't seem to be rules about other people sitting on the horses!) and so we could still hang out at a horse show! <br /><br />And shhh, the secret plan is to spend the fall getting our steering and canter going, then winter building strength, and coming out in spring at First... Hehe! As long as his body and mind can handle it, of course.

Those little glimpses of working trot he was throwing you were AMAZING. Daaaaaaamn girl. Better get ready to sit some big trot. I get the feeling this smarty pants won't take long to get to fancier stuff than rhythm and accuracy. ;)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-29507728525369782732015-08-25T14:08:09.743-04:002015-08-25T14:08:09.743-04:00Thank you!!

He will tag along when the group goes XC schooling though (not to jump, just to meander through the fields and learn water isn't the devil).Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-33549177508129529652015-08-25T12:16:44.699-04:002015-08-25T12:16:44.699-04:00i just love his trot!! what a good baby horse - so...i just love his trot!! what a good baby horse - sounds like a very fun day :Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-91391091530251537272015-08-25T09:18:41.284-04:002015-08-25T09:18:41.284-04:00Yay baby horse at his first show!! :-) Sounds like...Yay baby horse at his first show!! :-) Sounds like a successful outing.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.com
