Perhaps have beginner and advanced for the equitation? It's not really the fair the way it is now, because I'd have to compete against you and Hano, and I'd lose because I've only been riding for two years.

Edit: How about it's divided... into 'Level 1', for people who jump 18" to 2ft3, and then 'Level 2' for people who jump higher than 2ft3? You'd enter the class that you feel you belong in... like, if I can jump 2ft, but usually jump 2ft6, then I'd enter the class with the heigh I usually jump.

Spill! I wanna hear!

Well, it's not that awesome, but here it is:
I rode a new horse, Lady Kane. Her trot was EXTREMELY bumpy. It was probably because we were outside, and it's really bumpy there. We went over a few jumps, and I got to go over a pretty high jump I have NEVER done yet until then. I almost cantered, but we didn't.

We did a small jumping course, then I got to do a few jumps by myself, because it was a make-up(not the kind you put on your face! xD ) lesson, and they were more advanced then me. It was really fun because it was the first time a rode Lady Kane, and she was Harley's( :cry: ) best friend!
_
If you wanna hear why I did this :cry: after Harley's name, just ask!!!!

Wow. After a year and a half since my show paint horse had to be put down at MSU, I have finally found a horse that can pass a vet check. After THREE horses that couldn't pass a vet check, I finally found a healthy one. I cant believe that he's actually here, though it makes me cry knowing that the insurance money from my Rolex(the horse who passed) had to be used to buy this one. In some way, if feels like closure. I'm starting a new chapter with a new horse. :')


Wow, congratulations. I'm glad you've finally found a new horse. If you don't mind me asking (I've probably asked this before) Why did Rolex have to be put down? And I'd love to see a photo of the new one!


Thank you!
Rolex was put down from a rare leg injury that was maybe caused by a bad hock injection when he was young. The hocks soft tissue that kept the bones off from each other gave way so that he was bone on bone. It cant be fixed, the only option was to be put down. We did donate that leg to the MSU school so they can study and maybe someday learn how to fix it.
I don't have the time to upload and pictures or videos today maybe, but I will tomorrow c:

Yes it seems we are. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe both are okay. Though video might be more prefered for certain classes rather than a picture.
I might enter the best groomed class, as others I have no clue and chance of getting video/pictures of me riding are slim. Though I would have to do it fast before Heta starts the rubbing, meaning her face will NOT be pretty...

Are there any class specific rules? Like time limit between the before and after pictures in the best improved class, or that the time between them should be stated on the entry form. For example pictures taken with 5 year apart should show huge improvement when compaired to let say pictures with one month differance. Makes sense? That way the judges could consider the timeframe and amount of improvement. Meaning if the person has improved very little in long time they would not score well, where as a person who might have more recent pics but shows great improvement could score quite high.
I don't know if there also should be short version of the rules for each class, or what the judges are looking in each one. That way people who don't have much knowledge of some class could possibly still enter... Like I have no clue of equitation classes nor hunter nor pleasure, simply 'cause they aren't organised around here. Not that it matters to me as I can't get pictures...
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

Random mod note; make sure when you guys are sharing pictures or videos you can't see your faces.

Otherwise sounds fun. ouo b I'd participate but I'm lacking a camera. Which would make it kind of hard.

Okay I think I've caught up. I re-read back to page 240 or something XD
I will have to try and enter something, but maybe not best groomed since it's winter and Donny is super fluffy at the moment <3

Anyway, I had my first jumping lesson on Donny today. It was a surprise since I wasn't expecting to be riding XD He did really really well though! He was quiet hot -for him- when we were cantering in a group, but nothing that I haven't riden through on other horses. He was good when it came to the jumping part though, even though it wasn't very high. He did try to duck out a few times but I just put my leg on and straighened him up :3 He didn't refuse a single jump! Even when I messed up the lines XD He did shoot off after pretty much every jump though but it got better towards the end of the lesson <3 I think he does have potential in the jumping aspect :)
D had a ride on him too. And oh my gosh he does looks nice when he works in a frame. She rode him amazingly and he does extend and do flying changes :D Her words were, "he has all the buttons there, just needs to be pressed in the right way' she was teaching me how to aked him to round since it's different to the way I'm used too. I did manage to get it though and a semi-decent canter XD lol
