Tim Time

I had my first real ride on Timmy today - we had a dressage lesson with E. He was such a star and is so much fun to ride! I'm still trying to figure out the leg/contact ratio, but E said that when we get it, we're going to make a killing in the dressage ring ;) He is so rideable, has tons of suspension in his trot, and has the loveliest floaty canter... swoon. Unfortunately, I couldn't coerce anyone to watch and get proof of his awesomeness, but I have another lesson on Thursday and XC schooling on Saturday, so it will happen soon - promise!

In the meantime, enjoy how ridiculously adorable he was during his first bath in KY, as well as some pictures from his first couple of days here :)




Fresh off of the trailer! 

First Ride!
To serve as the Before - stay tuned for an After. Check out the boniness :(


I'm apparently a pro at choosing horses with huge cannon bones... Limerick's XL dressage boots fit Timmy perfectly
I think he likes the beautiful KY bluegrass :)

  2. Super cute! Congrats! Question - what kind of boots are those? Are they the equilibrium boots? And if so, are you happy with how they're holding up? Thanks!
