Sorta Silent Sunday

Hi everyone! Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but Tim and I are home for the holidays and boarding at a new barn... I'm kinda lonely out there, as I don't really know anyone, but Hillary was kind enough to go out there with me :) She also took some pics, and I have to say that I think our dressage is much improved! For comparison, here's a pic from one of our first shows:

Summer '14

And from today! Huge thanks to Hill for keeping me company and providing sweet pics for this post <3 Also, the saddle I'm riding in is actually my brand new devoucoux makila, not the loaner!! It's beyond perfect. Also also, I body clipped Tim yesterday (for the second time this year) and forgot how amazing/fantastic/wonderful it is to have a hairless horse

December '14. Slowly but surely... also MY HORSE IS ROUND WHILE I'M RIDING HIM!!!

Cookie..?

Love this one

Supposed to be a long and low warm-up, but long and low isn't Tim's style

Warm-up

He's just really cute

He's even kinda round tracking right!!! That used to happen 5% of the time and now it happens maybe 20%

Tim says 'I is giraffe'

Showing off my nasty habit of hanging on the inside rein

lol

Clipped Tim is super shiny and cute

Visiting with Hillary and Hue!

It was so good to see Hillary and Houston last night for the first time since summer (too long)! I met up with Hill at her house before heading out to her farm to see the huester. We groomed the very dirty monster horse, tacked up, and walked down to the indoor to ride. She lunged first and then hopped on for a few minutes before letting me take over :) Let me tell you, I totally forgot what it's like to ride a 17+ hand horse. LOTS of horse to handle, though he was a very good boy! We got some pictures of both of us up, though the indoor lighting was kind of challenging so some of them are blurry. Enjoy!
