Nothing new..

So while I am waiting for my nails to dry, writing a blog post :D

For now I ride once in a week, because it's wintertime and it is very dark outside. So i ride Lolly, nothing special, just basic lessons, one time, for the first time i cantered without stirrups and it was quite easy :D I didn't mention that in the summer i tried jumping bareback with Lolly about 60 cm jump♥ So i literally just trot or canter in winter :D We can't jump, cause it's slippy out there, so that's that.

Winter horse riding lesson

IT'S WINTER GUYS!!!
Pic from today

We were riding in the forest (trot). It took a long time because we talked so much, I was so happy and amazed by the view from a horseback, looking in the white white woods♥ Then got back to our outdoor arena to canter, that part was fun too :D Savannah was hype today. After canter went for a little walk in forest. SO that's all for today!

First 1m jumps! Future plans..

Hi!

Not that long time ago, for the first time I jumped 1 meter with the lovely mare Lolly♥ It made so happy, that finally, I did it. (Personal little goals.) Can't be more happy :) Sure, he height of jump doesn't show how good you ride :) But, experience is always good! Then I practiced the half-halts and how to get that silent 'talking' with a horse (if you get it ). 

Recently I bought new riding breeches, weird ones, but I do like them!

For now, still no planned shows, so I'm in 'calm' mood :D Still... :D!

SO

Currently starting to plan a new youtube video project, hehe, getting inspired again :>

Sorry for the short blog posts, I am soo busy! Can't even find time to do anythiiing.. maybe I am bit lazy? Who isn't? hahah :D
Sorry for my heel, nobody is perfect, even Grand Prix riders ;)) (Just look at that extension)

FIRST SHOW AND MORE!

So a lot of things happened this time!

1. One weekend I woke up at 5:30AM guess why..? It was the day, when I had to go to my first horse show! And sure, compete there :D I was tired, a little bit nervous, but happy. When we all got to the barn, started taking all horse stuff to the cars and horse trailer, took the horses and yep we gone to the show! There we tacked up, got prepared and headed all the way to warm up. I had to start the show 9th, first from our team. yeah.. exciting :D I finished the course clear! Yes, in trot, why not? And we came 7th, which was 'omg how?' for me :D Second day wasn't that lucky, in first, mare refused the jumps, but I was enough brave to go the course for the second time. This one was better!

Ugh what a cool weekend it was! New experience, a lot of nerves and feelings, trust for a horse, knowlege, learning and a lot more♥

Second fall from a horse

So today was the big fall day :D erh.. So we were running late to barn, and when finally got there, mounted the horses and started warming up. Then trainer told us to jump little jumps :D They were about 50cm. Of course i jumped many times, but once.. I stood for a jump a little early so the saddle bumped me I 'flied' a little on horses neck.. LET THE RODEO BEGIN. She spooked -_- and did something like 'little rear?' because i flied again, but somehow landed on horses butt.. And can you believe that I cantered on horses ass? When the mare completely got lost what was happening, started galloping into a wall heheh.. Silly me, I still tried to jump back on saddle.. but i just grabbed it with one hand, sure mare kicked the air because she was so confused and scared. In that moment, everything was like a miracle, idk how I still had clear mind and thought about 'omg I am falling for a second time!' and 'Oh gosh i have to let saddle go and fall' 'will I break something??' And i felt the ground.. It hurt so much, for a second i saw nothing, only black in my eyes.. Then realized I am all in the mud.. Stood up fast after fall,tried to check my bones, neck and stomach, am I okay? I was okay, just felt the damn pulsing in my head, and a little sore in my chest/neck. Well. everybody was scared and asked am I alive? :D So I had what to wash today.. My safety vest (it saved my bones, I swear), helmet, breeches, gloves, and yea especially me and my hair which was ALL in mud. After i got the feelings back, mounted mare again and went for a little walk in forest.

People, I want to say, be safe, ALWAYS wear safety vest, and helmet. It can prevent you from broken bones and save your life!

Hellooo I am back!

So time flies, I am already Equestrian for 1.5 year :) I rode in one barn in the start of my horse journey, but I chose to stay in another called 'Raudoni Vakarai' (Red Evenings). I am the jumper, sometimes practicing dressage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sooo

Today I got to the barn and with my equestrian friends we took our 4 horses from the pasture to the stalls. All three girls (including me) brushed, tacked up favorite horses. My favorite one is Hanoverian boy Confetti-Star, I also adore the Hanoverian mare Lolly very much♥ I ride her most of the time, but earlier I always rode Confetti. (sorry for off-topic) We went to a trail ride in forest and woods, it was fun to trot and then gallop♥ It is our little summer closing :) After trail ride, we went to the river with horses to chill them legs in water and drink. When got back in stalls, sure, untacked the ponies, lead them to the pasture, and left home. It was an amazing day, I love to have memories like this! Now the hard work comes! :D

this is Konfetti♥
