We Make It Easy

It’s that time of year again, Time for Fox Crossing! I love these guys, and they always hold the best shows here! Sadly, luck was not on my side. I showed up early, and ended up waiting around for the better part of the day to get started. I had trudged through the mud so my boots were very slippery. I actually ended up taking a little spill, and even took myself off course first round. I completely missed second round, and third round bay knocked the jump. I was a pretty epic fail, but I can only blame myself and learn from these mistakes. I’m hoping I have a bit more luck when I go back for show 2!

Tell me about your most epic fail involving your horse!

no audio owned.
i was just feeling a little down this evening when i decided to make this. samson and i had a pretty bad fall on sunday.
he is 100% fine, i got the worst of it.

all of these clips are brand spankin’ new! basically i can’t ride my horse but he’s amazing and puts up with me anyway. the clip of me going into the water jump is literally seconds before i came off, unfortunately not on film.

jumped him today even though my head is a bit weird, and he went amazingly amazing. he is such a star.

connor is in the blue and rode him aswell, samson jumped so well for him.
there’s lots i want to say, but this upload has gone too fast! curse you speedy internet!

sometimes everything can seem to pointless and so hard, but you just have to take the good with the bad, dust yourself off and start again. pick up the pieces and use as much sticky tape as possible to fix it. because this is all i can do. i’m not going to walk away, neither are you. i promise i will learn to ride you properly, some day, and get the best from you that other people can. i am sorry that i let you down so much, i make you look like a fool and hide all of your amazing talent. you deserve so much better but you’re stuck with me. it’s okay fat pony, i will someday become the rider you deserve.
words cannot describe the love i have for this horse.
love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“To succeed you must first improve, to improve you must first practice, to practice you must first learn, and to learn you must first fail.”
-Wesley Woo

I can Identify with that quote! This trail ride was an experience! I took the boys out on pretty much Identical rides through the Brandwine Valley. I was hoping for a nice calm and peaceful ride, but Bay had other plans. He decided to argue over a puddle, of all things! I stood my ground, and he decided that I was right after all… I usually am Gam was awesome as always, Bay is just a little slower to catch on, but I love him just the same. Thumbs up for rescue horses!

This is Hannah’s first lesson on Marley. She has had about 5 riding lessons in total. Hannah is 6 years old and riding very well for her age and level of experience. We are working on bringing her lower leg under her so she doesn’t have so much of a “chair seat.” Chair seat means that the rider has her legs out in front of her and is using the stirrups to push herself back in her saddle, up against the cantle. Riders usually assume a chair seat position because they don’t want to commit to being up over the horse’s motion – they are afraid of falling forward over the neck. For posting the trot, the riders legs should be in alignment with her hips, so that if the horse were to disappear out from underneath her, she would land on her feet. The posture is a lot like the athletic stance once assumes for tennis.

Marley is a 5 year old, 14h Welsh Cob. He is offered for sale. www.PonyPros.net
