May said I was on fire today, and after two tests I felt it; it was hot 🔥😎
Riding British Dressage - Quest Club as always for team ‘Gaits of Hell’ (inspired by my very own..) we trotted down the centre line. May thinking about keeping her damn wiggly legs still, while I focused on keeping a forward momentum and the absa-bloody-loutely terrifying banner hiding in the top left corner 😎
Sometimes I’m prone to getting a little curled up behind the vertical, but today we did lots of stretchy trot in the warm up to get me seeking the bit, before May picked up the reins for some halt-trot transitions to get me thinking forwards. This is a little different to her usual warm up plans which mostly just consist of trying not to crash and/or have a panic attack… perhaps she is finally taking these things seriously? 🧐
She said she was very pleased that in the majority of the pics my poll is the highest point (excluding of course my epic 20m stretchy circle 😎) however of course if you’re asking me that was just so I could keep a closer eye on that banner 🫣
I must also say thank you to some lovely human friends who lent us some vital bits of equipment. May also promises to also sort out her matchy matchy game soon… if I could internet shop I would 🤪
I am now reunited with my pony friends after a nice wash down and trip home in my air conditioned lorry (just for me of course - the humans had to sweat it out in the cab!) and so will say good night. Tomorrow we are taming my ‘feral’ canter apparently, so I need a rest!)
