Update 5/15/2010
It’s been almost a month since we moved to our new place, and things are going great! Riz is like a whole new horse. She is so relaxed and happy. We had one day that she decided she was afraid of everything, but she has taken everything in stride every other day. And I’ve been able to ride her 5 times a week on average now that it is half the commute!
We’re only to the point of being able to canter two 20 meter circles before we’re both out of breath, but I’m going to watch a jumping group that some of the barn ladies put together on Monday to see if we’d be interested in joining. They only do cavaletti grids, but that is perfect for us. Neither of us are in any sort of shape to do anything major, and we both need to go back to the basics before we start jumping the moon.
Here are some pics I took today of the princess. She loves the pampered life. She gets to stay inside when it rains and gets fly sprayed every time she goes out. Plus I give her a lot more treats now that I see her more, and she will get to go out on pasture this summer, which she will love.
