dressage and show jumping


Oh doesn't he look dapper!!!!!! It's all about the dressing up, right? The core business of controling a horse is a bit of a mystery to me...but my boy has it under control. Harry participated in a dressage and show jumping competition last Sunday. He's not much of a dressage fan, it's a bit too slow for his liking. He sees himself as more of the show jumping type, I guess there's a bit more "Man from Snowy River" action involved! Despite his reluctance, Harry displayed excellent control and poise during the dressage test and was awarded first place! He was awarded second place in the show jumping and missed out on a win by three seconds...all because his pony stopped to do some business - well, when you gotta go, you gotta go!!!
