FINALLY - We managed to have our FIRST winter practice day




Yay. Finally a practice day. And we can even canter next to another gg. Just as well considering we have our first real dressage comp next Sunday. Muffin wasn't too sure about the pipe arena at first, but quite happy in the end. Centre lines were a bit on the wobbly side. lol
NOTE TO SELF: Must go more forward down centre line, or the judge might mistake it for a leg yield. lol

Me and Muffin practicing for our upcoming dressage debut



Quite happy in medium walk, but gee, my spur won't be doing much up there. lol

ME AND MY HORSES - PAST AND PRESENT

Here is my future champion - bred specially for me by my friend Hielke.

All tacked up and ready for our first ride.
Hielke is telling her she MUST BEHAVE and i am having a nervous ciggy.



RED DIOR - At Tokoroa A&P Show Dec 2007

A lovely mare by Istadaad I picked out of a paddock (just out of racing) She went out and won her first ever dressage test with 90%

putting her in foal to Prestige this coming breeding season.
