Media

Sorry readers, there's been a lot of walls of text up here lately. Part is that it's just been too cold to take my fingers out of my gloves to operate my phone, then there's the fact that my horse is a fuzzy dirty beast who is not at her most photogenic. I've also just been lazy with getting photos actually transferred from phone to blog. However I do realize that media is kind of important so here you go! (No promises that these images won't be reused in following posts)

Cooling out after a lesson (it's easiest if I let her walk around on her own)

Frosty pony

Close up of her ridiculous floofy frosty forelock

Kachina somehow managed to scape her face,
 or as my friend put it "remove her eyebrows"
Not sure what happened but she didn't seem any worse for wear otherwise




Gifs from a recent lesson (choppiness is gif not reality)


Consistency in trot is coming

Canter still big and a bit unbalanced but transitions improving



Practicing the ever important "chase cat" test movement


Change of direction without losing rhythm or frame

  1. That canter is looking very rhythmical!

    1. That's nice to hear, thanks! Though the left lead (not shown) still sometimes has a tendency to get lateral

    1. Kachina has nice hair in general but her forelock is always a disaster :P

  4. You guys look great in the gifs. Especially the change of direction one. I don't think I could handle living somewhere as cold as where you live though. I'm too much of a CA baby to deal with that much snow!

    1. Thanks, I was glad the change of direction was captured on video because that is definitely an area we have improved in, not losing marbles when something changes.

      I live in the California of Alberta lol (sunniest, mildest corner)

    1. Well when one thinks about it, it really would show the adjustability of your horse and how in between the aids they are if the pattern wasn't set and you had to adjust to the speed and direction of the cat!
