Go

GUESS WHAT?? I think that I have finally found Chipper's "go button" if I whip him in a certain place, he goes really fast (knock on wood)!! (well, fast for him) I'm super excited!! Hopefully it won't "wear out" haha.

I feel like I'm going to be obese after all this SITTING!!!

As most of you know, I broke my ankle... So I won't be able to ride for a while! Ughhh, very very very frustrating! Well ladies, I pretty much have sat on my couch since Wednesday watching movies. And I'll be in Hanover at the Dartmouth hospital for surgery on Tuesday... And after that I'll be home again sitting on the couch... So, every one of you needs to blog about your lovely equestrian lives and keep me updated!

I rode last at the Cheshire Fair. Nothing too too exciting, but it was fun. I was looking forward to practicing cantering a figure eight, but that won't be happening for a while.

Are all of you surviving the "Hurricane" ? I knew it was over-rated; it's just rain and wind, nothing too bad... Well, actually I just lost power, so we'll see what happens.

Okay, hopefully I'll see some new posts up soon!

S. Saddles Show

Is anyone doing the S. Saddles show on Saturday?? I am...I really need the riding experience. Wish me luck!!

PONIES, OF COURSE

Hey! I'm back in the saddle-fitting saga again, trying to make the Funny Boy comfortable....the good news is that i got to ride twice today. Once in the ring, which really was twice, because I opted to change my saddle half-way through to experiment....that was funny, because I guess the rider was pretty grumpy and it made everyone laugh when that got pointed out several times today (since she asked the horse what his problem was and it was quite clear that it was her! at least at the time!) Then, to try a new saddle adjustment, I went for what was supposed to be a short ride with Rachel and Julio, and we had so much fun we kept going and had a couple of lovely trots and canters....even cantered side by side with no racing involved! We were sooooo tired that coming home meant time for a NAP, which I did get for 10 minutes or so, on the porch in my fav spot while everyone was gone....
Can't wait for the next ride, or at least the next lesson, which is all my older girls for a last fling b4 Julie and Andria head off to greener pastures.....

GREAT JOB EVERY BODY WHO SHOWED AT THE CHESHIRE FAIR ON SUNDAY!
Great job winning the reserved championship and Andria winning the championship and Clara winning 3rd or 4th and reserved championship and Leah winning the reserved championship.
I am just going to say again Great Job!

Lesson

Soo...I had a lesson on Toby with Dorothy today. Wowsers! I have a lot to work on. But I LOVED taking a lesson with Dorothy, she's so helpful! I wish that I could take regular lessons with her. I think I'd do really well with that.
