You guys - I had my first jump/xc lesson ever!!
and the Porsche was a ROCKSTAR!

| Dressage saddle not the most helpful, lots of position flaws, but both having a blast over the log! |
When one of the barn gals kindly offered me an empty spot in her trailer to go school at a horse park, I said YES! So we loaded up her gelding and Porsche, and had a day filled with fun!
We zipped around on the gallop track, went through the water feature (Porsche stopped half-way thru and was all splish-splashy and wanted to roll LOL. She was happy snorting the entire time - and the only thing she gave a hairy eyeball to was one of the brush prelim jumps.
So, I think I'm changing disciplines and am gonna try baby level eventing...
and that means saddle shopping for a proper jump saddle now...any recommendations?
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! You should come up to Stallion Station -- we have the friendliest starter and intro divisions ever -- coaching allowed if you want!
ReplyDeleteI've sat in a lot of really comfy Stubbens lately. I've been impressed. I also love my Albion Kontact Lite (which fits Murray). Those are the best recommendations I have right now, hopefully you find something that works for Porsche!
Awesome :D
DeleteYay! XC is so fun. Woodside has an intro division now. I'm sure you could still enter! We'll come cheer you on.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go as a groom for a friend that weekend ;)
DeleteThat’s awesome - what fun!!! You guys look great over the log!!
ReplyDeletePorsche was loving it - she was locking on and taking me to the log :)
DeleteSo fun! She looks so happy in that log photo!
