Hacked Out - Yesderday

Lunged Dakota with sidereins in dressage: walk, trot & canter.
Hacked out in the rented with Kimberly & Nikky:
Galloped out 3-4 times & cantered both ways getting him on his butt.
Jumped a few tiny logs.

He wasn't out of breath... ever. We're staying in shape! :)



Side note: MUCH better attitude today.

Gallery Farm Show April 20

Hmm... Well, I guess I'll start this Training Journal on the best note ever: winning 2nd in Beginner Novice at the Gallery Farm show!

A girl I didn't know who had a push-button pony beat me out, but if we'd tied for the dressage score [and we almost did, I needed one more point to tie!] I would have won because I was 9 seconds under optimum time on cross country, and she was like... a minute and a half under optimum time.

Beginner Novice class:
1. Random Girl.
2. Me on Dakota ["Kodak Moment"]
3. Shauna on Dash
4. Nicole on Eeyore

Kimberly got 3rd on Chase. Poor Abby got disqualified in XC - Flicka refused the 2nd jump 3 times. But they had been in first after dressage!
