There is nothing to be ashamed of here!...WAY TO GO! There is nothing to be ashamed of here! Green horses are challenging, until Izzy knows her job, you will have obstacles like these. I give you big kudos for even riding the tests, I would've came unglued!! I have never shown before, but if I was to come unglued, I think that my Dandy woudl take care of me! She is such a sweety! I give you two thumbs up, plus another thumb up for the blinding white sock! So three thumbs up... (I'll have to borrow a thumb from someone, btw!) :DOneDandyHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355057635042941344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-17119369116035295832010-04-12T18:40:26.504-06:002010-04-12T18:40:26.504-06:00Youse guys was awesome!!!! *VBWG*
Hey, my first s...Youse guys was awesome!!!! *VBWG*<br /><br />Hey, my first show with Tucker, I barely finished the walk/trot test before he exploded. You managed walk/trot/canter first time out!! Way to go. And you were as accurate as you could be on a spooky, about to explode, green horse. I'm sending you three more points just for riding the darn tests!! There, so now you have an "8" for the rider.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-27348900548964961812010-04-12T18:12:53.428-06:002010-04-12T18:12:53.428-06:00Sounds like you handled everything really well all...Sounds like you handled everything really well all things considered.

He has never been shown in an indoor arena, let alone been inside of one. Yeah, this should be fun....<br /><br />A lot of times though, the horses 'feed off of us'. We may not feel nervous, but something underlying is just setting the minimal rattling tone. The horses pick up on that. A bit too well sometimes. Mine does. and that can blow the whole day, right out the window.<br /><br />You evaded the explosion. Take comfort in that. You are also happy with a lot of the scores and they were fair. Not a lot of riders can say that. It can't get much worse- only better from here.

And getting good scores on movement means that despite it all, Izzy pretty much rocks!! :) Great starting point, as I only see you two going up from here :)ehardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286803536873962316noreply@blogger.com
