The people are amazing, the horses are amazing, and the sceneries are amazing. What more could I ask for?
The barn is outfitted with huge stalls, massive sand ring, back meadow with a cantering track and a heat lamp stall. I have two people I am working with at the barn, Phillip and Ashling. Today I rode a horse named Vunweel, a 9 year old Belgium Warmblood. She had some amazing movement and very forwards off the leg. Something I am really not used to because my horse is so lazy! So I used my full seat and a fair amount of hand and I found I could ride her very collected and correct. The fences came nicely, but after the fences I lost my connection and she would run through my hand, motorcycling through the corners. I would rebalance her in time for the next fence, but it wasn't as polished as I'd like.
I will continue riding her and I'll jump her again on Saturday. I hope to begin riding some of the horses that I am lunging, but I have to remember that this was only day one...
Till next time,
Paige
