Catch Up

Quick catch up post! Limerick is doing fabulously and we've had a lot of fun lately, going on long hacks with Kimmie and Kristen. Kristen's horse finally came back from his extended vacay and Kimmie's horse is FINALLY sound, so we were all reunited shortly after spring break and thrilled to ride together again :) Last weekend after the show, Hillary stayed to help organize all of my tack/crap, and let me just say that she did a beautiful job. She also recorded our short little jump school, which was our first time trying the wonder bit and running martingale.

Since then, I made it out to the barn every day but Tuesday and Thursday, and on Thursday I had an awesome dressage rider/friend work Limmers for me. She's a first year at my school and a total badass (third level whaaaaat?!). She told me that she loves him and he was good, but she and I both noticed that he felt a lot more downhill than usual in the canter. Ideas anyone?? He almost felt off, but only in canter, which felt like his butt kind of popped up underneath me more than normal :(. Basically we worked on cantering single jumps this week, a little bit of dressage, and as much no-stirrup work as I can handle.

I also have some picture previews from Hillary and Houston's rated-event-debut!!!!




And from some of the gorgeous days this week :)

  4. Great to hear that all is going well with yourself & Lims. hope the canter niggle was just a blip on the day and that there are no underlying niggles for the big man!
