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 

His face

This little beauty (or one very similar..) is coming my way!! 

Back at School!

Hey everyone! Timmers and I made the trip to school on Sunday and are back at CVF. Due to pre-recruitment sorority stuff and lots of ice/snow/general nastiness, I haven't done anything with Tim since I unloaded him from the trailer on Sunday afternoon :( However, I do have a rather long video of me riding Houston on Saturday, so enjoy!

And some pictures from the past week or so: 

hi.

Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows I cut my hair off... yep, 12ish inches!!

Hue magoo

The pad slipped back a bit, but SADDLE :D 

Yummmmmyyyyy leather and my new Ogilvy pad 

We are jumping beans!!!!!!!

Hey, blogosphere! I haven't quite decided what I want to do with this blog... I thought I was officially finished with blogging, but now that Tim is back at it, I find myself wanting to share our progress with all of you :) I'll try to post as often as possible, though I totally understand if my inconsistency now means that I have no readers.

Tim had his final checkup at R&R today and was officially cleared to start jumping. I jumped him tonight for the first time since september. Can you believe it? SEPTEMBER. He has been back in work for the past 1.5 months and has been super! Tonight was no exception. In other exciting news, I got a Devoucoux while Timmers was broken and decided to sell my County jump saddle. So I rode tonight for the first time in a month (I went to the Bahamas for Jan term), in my brand new Chiberta, on my newly jumping horse... life doesn't get much sweeter :) Oh and a big shoutout to Hill for coming out to video and set jumps XO

Go Timmy Go! 

My home for the past month :)

Missed this face! 

New saddle and Ogilvy saddle pad <3

Some pics from our Christmas morning photo shoot! 

Not amused by this game
