Sorry it’s been a hundred years since my last video, but at least you will be able to see why I have been so busy as of late! A couple of weeks ago we took Rodge to our local Adult riders club so he could have an outing as we want to take him competing, and though it would also be a good chance for him to a. Float out somewhere to ride with other horses, and b. have an instructor present for his first time out! He went really well in the flatwork, he was a bit electric so I just kept him going forward until he relaxed. Got some really good feedback on the day, everyone thought he was pretty, lol, but he was also really thinking about it all as well and behaving, bless his little heart
We also did a jumping lesson which was basically working around a course which Rodge loved as I got to open him up a little and challenge him a bit, too. Unfortunately the video camera died before the jumping started which is why there are a few piccies up instead
Next thing we know there is news of a dressage comp at the riding school I take lessons, and also work at, so we floated him down last week and he has been there since …
