Miss Gracie mare was perfect today. I switched to a slightly longer spur - a 1 1/4" Prince of Wales instead of the 3/4" I was using. Gave her an extra gear! We jumped just about everything in the ring. We have a variety of ability levels in the Wednesday night class, so the jumps were set pretty low and I was ready to dawdle through them . . . then I noticed our trainer strolling around and when she left each combination it was MUCH higher . . . but Gracie rose to the occasion like a bird. She is just such a pretty jumper and so easy to sit.
My dog came to the barn too. She had a wonderful time helping me tack up, and fetching tennis balls for all the kids, and touching noses with my mare . . . they get along great, Shelley seems to think that horses are just big dogs. She sat in her crate while I took my lesson, every time we went by that corner of the ring she would whine softly, "I'm still here, Mom." LOL!
This is ecurbh helpin' me finish!
All that good lookin' long grass there? - Canary grass. the horses won't eat it :~\
