Spring Session

Hi Everyone! I have some exciting news to share. Due to my winter training going well I graduated into an intro position as a therapeutic riding horse in KTRA's 2022 Spring Session! I have been participating in weekly lessons. Most of my lessons are just lead-line lessons but I do have a few where I can go unclipped with a rider who is riding independently at the walk.

We have been doing really interesting things in our lessons helping riders prepare for the BC Therapeutic Riding Association's Para-Equestrian Video Competition. In lessons we have been working on pole bending and barrel patterns, equitation/horsemanship patterns and my favorite an obstacle course with a bridge!

I had a few lessons where I wasn't too happy with a few things but I am lucky to have some amazing humans that care for me and really listen to what I am trying to say. They have made some minor adjustments and I am much happier now. I am excited to help my riders participate in the BCTRA video competition and I can't wait to see how we do together as a team!

One of the instructors, Cherise, took me in another Shelley Mill's dressage clinic. I am very proud of myself for keeping composed through the crazy weather we had on Saturday - it snowed, rained, hailed - you name it, it did it! 

The weather is getting warmer and I enjoy my daily naps in the sunshine. We even have something called 'Field Fridays' where we get turned out on the grass which I have enjoyed with my field and paddock mate, Piper. 

Enjoy your spring!
