ok well i havent posted since april :$ so yeah kinda big blog me thinks.
ok well firstly, spurs couldnt be ridden for 4 months :( the saddle he came in was too small for him and it was rubbing him, poor boy. we had to have physio theripy come out and everything! and all we could do was lunge and take him out for walks in the woods but, lunging has really paid off, he become really responsive to our voice now! he used to be so bad at lunging and now he is a star, he never used to move let alone canter straight away and take off on the right leg. he used to bolt in gallop then when he did canter he will keep doing flying changes! and before that he wouldnt move, and i had to lead him round, that was the only way he would move! but now he is a star he has improved so much!
i have also been riding this other horse whilst spurs hasnt been ridden just to keep my riding up! i fell in love with him! he was a 5 year old welsh section d called owen, he was so fun to ride, had such a sweet charecter. he wasnt perfect but he helped me improve, he has bucked me, reared me, and he had this horrible problem with his head when he kept chucking it to the floor, even a daisy rein didnt work! i would be in mid canter and then he would suddenly shoot his head to the floor! and take the reins out my hand and i would be there cantering with no reins, but he ended up seeing that he wasnt gunna get away with that with me! but he was amazing when he didnt do that, and i trusted him loooaaaddsss! i dont have him anymore though but i can still see him everyday.
i went hickstead in june! and i am going again aswell whooop, i had an amazing day bought so much stuff ;) and MET ELLEN WHITAKER ! yep got her aughtoraph and i stood so close to MICHEAL WHITAKER, he is really short;) saw the derby bank got a really good veiw, and watched some showing classes too :P it was soooooo hot though sitting outside in that heat was hard :L i got an personalised numnah! leather head collar, name plait, keyring, new browband, new bit, jumper, top and so much more it was an amazing day!
OMG i rode spurs! first time in 4 MONTHS! i was riding in this weird sponge saddle thing :S it was weird it felt like riding bareback. i was on the lead for a bit because we didnt know what he was gunna do. but he was an angel i was soooooo proud of him! so we went off the lead, he spooked once but i was perfect apart from that! and god didnt he know it to. i love my horsey sooooooo much i really couldnt ask for a better horse right now. and lunging has really paid off, he is now so alert with voice cammands i wont even have to use leg ;) :L but he was amazing i love him so much
ahhh took spurs to his FIRST EVER SHOW! it was amazing had such a good day! woke up at 5:00 to get to the yard at 6:00 he was a nightmare to plait would NOT stand still -_- i wasnt expecing to win anything but we did!!! we got 1st in hansomest gelding wooo, i love my hansome boy! 4th in coloured, and 4th in what the judge wants to take home, we got placed in every class :O he was a bit hyper because of there was so many horses but he was a star! to get the he was really hard to load, he thought that he was being sent off somewhere! it took forever to load, but we finnally did it. but when we were at the show he went straight on the horsebox, like he knew he wasnt being sold there was nothing to worry about ;), hoping to compete some more as he was so amazing we did it in hand, but we have orderd a saddle so maybe we could ride next time :D the pic i of the class we won in!
