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

Training ride!

Today, I went out to watch J, dressage trainer extraordinaire, ride Timmers and whip his butt into dressage-y shape. I decided to take my camera along, since I can rarely resist inundating you all with pictures ;)

I realized I never posted pictures of my loaner!! It's not exactly sparkling clean, but gorgeous regardless

Completely in love  

HOLY STRETCH 

Future dressage horse 

and again.. who knew he was willing to stretch like that
