Dexter's First Show - Training Level Test 2


Since YouTube and Blogger aren't coordinating today, a link will have to do.  Remember, I fully admit this is not a good test.  I'm all over the place, and Dexter is all over the place.  But we are here to share our journey and the journey has to start somewhere.

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.

Me & Dex Back in December - Pre-Snow Storms

I finally got around to uploading and editing some video from back in December.  It short because I was taping myself and apparently kept riding out of the frame.  So these were the best clips where I wasn't just trotting across into the middle of nowhere.  We still have some work to do and I look like a spaghetti noodle at my sitting trot, but much better than 6 months ago.  You'll just have to take my word for it.  Enjoy!
