Better Late Than Never...

I know its been a while since the last show, but here are some pictures from it.  Thank my husband.  the prior shows he wasn't taking enough pictures.  I told him the "magic" picture is almost impossible to get, so you just have to keep taking them in hopes one turns out right.  He's such a good listener :) I got to sift through 400+ pictures looking for the magic one.  Let me know what you think :)

Can you tell it was a bit dreary?

It may just look like a walk, but you try to get Dexter to relax in the middle of a test.

Proof that there is at least one moment of magic in every test.

Snowed-In Sunday

Yesterday I went out to ride, hoping all the snow had melted... no such luck.  I'm really really trying hard to not complain about the weather, it doesn't help and I know most everyone else is in the same boat.  Except the lucky few in Florida (I used to be one of those few, sigh).  Anyways...

Since we couldn't  do much I decided to hop on bareback and take a few pictures.  Not easy to stage the camera, hit the timer, and get Dexter to look cute at the exact right moment, but here are some of my attempts.

We are having fun I swear

Yeah! He's ears are up, it's a miracle.

Not sure what the camera did here, but I kinda like it.

And just for fun, some video of us riding bareback.  I know! Two videos in a row, this is not a trend, I promise.  And sorry about the no helmet.  I am an avid "helmet rider" no matter what I'm doing.  I had taken it off to take a picture or 2 and forgot to put it back on.  We didn't do much than trot, not in that snow and mud.

Here is hoping for the warm weather (above freezing) to keep up so the arena can dry up.
