Well I did the clinic. I only rode the 2 lessons the first day and one each the next two days. Yes I wimped out, but I just couldnt keep going. My muscles were trying so hard to keep balanced that I just couldnt be effective. How the hell am I going to show?? If I've only got about 70 min of good riding time per day.... thats one warm up and one good class. My friend has said that she'll help however she can but its not the same as having your own butt in the saddle. And she has her own horses that she'll be trying to show.
The 2yo should be ok. She lunges/warms up in 15-20 min last year and was in "show mode". More than likely she'll also only be in walk trot classes with one other horse. Allows me to work on 2 gaits, and shes very used to showing in all of the rings.
The pally on the other hand should be intresting. Hopefully she's as quitet on the show grounds as she is at home. Im going to start riding her this week, after shes been off sence November so it should be intresting.
Oh and the owners of the 2yo started her this week....grrrrrrrrr..... I mean we talked about it they agreed to let me work her once I got school done, and truthfully if you had a 'trainer' (even if she is a Hasbeen) that worked/workes with some of the top QH trainers around, that was going to take your horse for free and train it, wouldnt you wait?? Fuck she was an idiot at her first show in lungline and I managed to fix her, and all we heard was "wow, didnt know it was the same horse"...... and they caused all the problems. Friend says I should just buy her, but untill I get a job, that doesnt work, and even then how much will she cost now with all of the points I put on her?
Rough week for horse related accidents as well. First a lady falls of her horse and breaks her spine, and they dont know how that is going to turn out..... 50/50 she'll walk again. And a young teenager felll of another horse and died on the way to the hospital. Makes you wonder why we do this... or more importantly why I'm doing it.......................................................................
