Re: Whats YOUR feel good thing?
Dressage is a controlled sort of riding which develops a horses muscles in the right way. You have to do a set of exercises showing off walk, trot and canter (which have to be precise, and started at the correct points around the arena). I am trying to learn the test at the moment - hilarious watching me walk, trot and 'canter' round the living room!
So, first I have to remember the test, and then get Jazz to do it properly (I tried showing it to her and she thought she'd have a go at digesting it - in her stomach!)! Trouble is, first time in a horse box, first time in a strange place - I think 'controlled' will probably be the last word to describe her!
All I'm hoping for is that I keep her between me and the ground and we don't make too big a fool of ourselves. Oh yeah, and Michael is riding his first test too - my monies on him for getting a better score!
