Dressage Day/Beach Weekend
Wow, certainly has been a long time sense I have posted anything on here.
Well, the dressage day I was so excited about got cancelled, nothing is going right for me I don't think. I finally got enough practice and was about to start plaiting my horse when my mother arrived telling me that she had just had a call saying that it was no longer going to be held. Got another month to wait before I can do it now :(
So instead of going out to the dressage we headed to the beach with the horses. I ended up getting to go Saturday and Sunday which was awesome. Saturday I took Oscar, he hated the whole thing. Rearing, bucking and spinning was the only thing on his mind. That wasn't much fun, the poor thing wouldn't even get his feet wet!
Sunday Buddy came down and we took Jess and her horse Carlton with us. Getting there was a little interesting... Only took us an hour and a half to get Carlton on the float. He certainly isn't a light horse when he rears (could have something to do with him being a draught x tb).
When we got there we were pretty quick to get onto the beach. Didn't take long for Jess to get Carlton into the water, even with it being pretty rough. Also didn't take her long to fall off... into the water... fully clothed :D Ha Jess, at least it wasn't me!
We rode a fair way down the beach, Buddy really seemed to enjoy himself... I don't like being pig rooted on though! After riding back we unsaddled and took them into the water for a play. Bud wasn't to sure about that, he did enjoy his roll in the sand afterwards though.
I did have a great weekend, so it was all worth it!
