I was a busy person the last couple of days - went carousing with some friends last night... stayed out till the wee hours and finished it off with breakfast!
Today I went to a horse show and watched a friend of mine compete in Dressage. She did well... She competes on a small spotted pony in the high-brow sport of dressage, competing against the tall handsome thoroughbreds and warmbloods. And she won the first test today with the best score. Good for her! Here are some pictures of her in action:
For those of you not familiar with dressage, the sport is equivalent to figure skating. The horse and rider must perform a precise pattern of movements and are judged on teamwork, suppleness, correctness and form.
I wanted to learn dressage with Bay when I got him back, but gave it up quick because he hates the work. His heart is out in the hills on trail, and he is such a good guy, he can choose the work he likes as far as I am concerned.
So I came home and took him for a nice ride around the property which we both enjoyed. Now as an extra treat, he is mowing my lawn.
Hope all of you had a good day...
