Too Cool!

So Remmi and I are now jumping 2'3" at night with all the shadow monsters attacking us and he isn't even blinkin!  I never could have imagined this 4 year trail horse would turn into a dream come true!

Here is a little video that one of my friends made for me of my boys!  Ignore the description underneath.  She did not realize that only Sebastian was rescued.  Lol!  Turn up the volume and enjoy!

Last Show of the Season

Remmi did AMAZIN the last show of the season!  We took a first, second, third, and two fourths.  The fourths were my fault though because I started gettin a headache before the last two classes.  It obviously showed in my ridin.  But overall we will get either a champion and reserve (dependin on what one other girl got) in one division and placing for year end in the rest of our divisions!  He is such a good boy!  Can't wait to go to the "A" Circuit next season!!!

In our last lesson we conquered the "Shadow Monster".  It took a little while but we finally got over the scariest (shadowy) jump.  He almost dumped me over his shoulder the first time we went at it at the canter but I saved myself.  Can't wait for our lesson on Tuesday!

Woohoo!!!!!! Happy Dance!!!

Remmi got his right lead canter tonight!  The first time I asked for it!  On the flat WITHOUT goin over any jumps!  Sooooooo proud of my big boy!  Show this Saturday!  Double pointed and the final one of the season.  So ready!

Wow..................sorry

I did not realize time has gone by so fast!  So much has happened since the last time I posted about Remmi!  Remmi is doin amazin!  We have come so far!  We are still workin on our right lead canter but he gets it over the fences which is a start!  We have jumped up to 2'3" in our lessons and he popped over them like they were crossrails!  He has so much potential I can't beleive it!  Who would'a thought this ex-racer in trainin gone trail horse would turn into the PERFECT hunter!  He is so brave and so willing its unbeleivable.  We have our last horse show of the season this Saturday.  We are in the runnin for all divisions but one.  My old trainer accidently put us in the wrong division.  Lol!  Well here are a few pictures just to update and for somethin to look at!  I will try and be better about updatin this thing.  Lol!

March 26th, 2011 Horse Show

So this horse show we did alot better, atleast Christina and I think so, although the judge obviously did not agree.  Out of six classes we took fourth in two on them.  But Remmi did better.  He felt good and we had impulsion, and carriage, and frame.  Here are pictures.



Pictures!!!!

and.......GO!

Ok so alot has happened since the last time I posted anythin.  I know I'm sorry I'm a horrible person!  Lol!  Remmi is comin along really nice at the walk and the trot.  He has his frame, carriage, impulsion, and headset 99% of the way down packed.  We just started workin on the canter last night.  So come to find out, Remmi does have a right lead.  But, he won't give it to you unless you are in jockey position when you ask for it.  So we are startin there.  His canter is REALLY fast but we will work on slowin it down soon.  We have also started workin on goin over jumps straight and steady as opposed to goin at them like a drunk sailor.  Lol!  We had our first horse show last month.  He did really good especially for it bein his first.  He threw a little buck when we were warmin up but that was it.  The judge had somethin against us and I'm not sure what.  We went into six classes.  All of which walk/trot.  We took fourth place in half of them.  So not bad his first time out.  We have another horse show in a couple of weeks.  We are enterin in the same classes.  Hopefully we will do better!  Last night in our lesson I don't know what horse I was ridin but it sure as hell wasn't Remmi!  We were workin on goin at jumps straight down a double line.  He took the first one way to big cantered and bolted out of the second one and attempted to jump the standard of the second jump instead.  Keep in mind that standards are like 4'6"!  I personally went 6' in the air I think!  I lost my stirrups as we came down and as soon as we landed he took off!  I got him back to the walk and here is the converstations that followed.....

Christina: "Give me that horse!"

Me: "I'm good!"

Christina: "No your not!"

Me: "...Ok..." *hands over horse.*

Mom: "Go get your helmet!"

Me: "Its at the house."

Mom: *blink blink*.

Zack: "Baby!" *runs up and hugs me*

Me:  "Baby I'm fine.  That was fun!!!!!  Ooooohhhh I'm on an adrenaline high!!!!"

I thought it was fun!  Everyone else thought I was gonna die.  I'm not sure why though....I landed and stayed in the saddle!  Pics comin soon!

First Official Ridin Lesson

So we had our first ridin lesson last Friday with Christina.  It went pretty good!  We worked on gettin impulsion and gettin him to track up under himself as well as gettin his frame back.  The trainin fork went back on and he re-learned pretty fast.  We also worked on his head tossin habit he is startin.  It was a pretty fun ride.  Here are some pics!
