The Lesson

Flatwork lesson with my very brill instructor! Omg I wanted to cry because she pushed us so much.... Vic nearly reared (the stubborn side came out!) :o Hes never been made do so much work.... like my instructor would never put any horse through any pain.... maybe the rider but def not the horse ha but by the end Vic's love for my instructor had def gone! Ha Our circles are very hard do because I haven't made him do a proper one in like 2 years.... I know how bad it is don't kill me anyone but I just found them so hard anyways there okish on the left rein and bad on the right but were getting there! His canter is coming aswell on the left but struggling on the right because hes weaker that rein! Walk and Trot I'm fairly happy with and she said our straightness in trot is very very good like 10 out of 10 in a test on the long side so im proud he does work really hard AND I'm being a very very mean mammy this weekend and putting him in my group dressage lesson tomorrow! He doesn't hate me yet but we're getting there poor thing.... Oh I got my boett rug last weekend for his sweet itch aswell.... Vic was brill with me trying to get it on him because the neck is like a slieve and behaved so good so

In Love

Vic is a star! I mean seriously no horse would put up with all the hassle I give that poor baby.... I got him his boett rug and the head part is like a slieve so when it kind of got stuck in his headcollar when I was putting it on he was not exactly thrilled but I was chuffed how even though he was caught up in this new smelly rug and couldn't see anything he relaxed as soon as I reasured him.... make me beam with proud how Im not seeing things when I say we have a close bond because I know Vic trusts me and im so proud of that and I would nearly put my life in that horses hands.... He fellows me out of the field and everywhere I go in the yard even passed the hugh open field with all his friends... Ok I'll stop bragging now.... Plus I had him on the bit in trot today and like 2 strides in canter! Im pretty sure it was on the bit.... I hope it was because if it wasn't the whole thing I've been striving for is gone out the window big time! Haha I really want to take a video and for people to tell us what were doing worng rather me.... I'm a HUGH believer of the rider always being blamed rather than the horse Its so silly riders blaming the horse when you can't do something but there is the other extreme when people cross the line and just tell people they're useless when they're trying really really hard! My rant is now over ha
