Saddlebred in the Making: Breakthrough the Dreaded Square Exercise

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2014/09/breakthrough-dreaded-square-exercise.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Breakthrough the Dreaded Square Exercise. I had a breakthrough of sorts this weekend when I rode Louie. I had had a lesson 3 days prior, and I really focused on what we worked on that day- controlling every step, half halting in the corners and turning on the forehand if he didn't respond. All the while, working on this square exercise that's perplexed me for 2 years, I think I worked it out for myself during this ride. Especially at the canter, he...

Saddlebred in the Making: Lesson on Ninja Turtles

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2014/11/lesson-on-ninja-turtles.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Lesson on Ninja Turtles. I had a lesson this week that was a little different progress than what we've been working on lately. The weather took a major turn in the past week, from nice fall days in the 50's to 20's and snow. Needless to say, Louie has been a bit "disconnected" in return. With this, we worked on the walk, then into the trot- we worked on the transition. While Julie kept saying, "don't let him piaffe! One of the biggest themes we worked ...

Saddlebred in the Making: Catch up: a couple good lessons and a hunters pace!

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2014/10/catch-up-couple-good-lessons-and.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Catch up: a couple good lessons and a hunters pace! I've been neglectful of this blog of late. So here are a few of the recent highlights:. 1 Long Lake Hounds hunters pace- we took Louie and Jackson and had a blast! We rode fast, completed it in 1 hour 8 minutes, and beat the goal time by about 12 minutes. We cut an hour off of Louie's last effort! We will be sure to be back, my husband wants to win next year! And it was great! View my complete profile.

Saddlebred in the Making: Schooling Show

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2015/04/schooling-show.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. I completely forgot to update the blog for about a month. sorry! Louie and I had a schooling show at the end of March that went much better than expected! Our judge was a fellow Sunborn instructor/rider, and she was as tough a judge as she is a rider. We scored about 63% on each of our three First Level tests. Here are our videos, worth more than 1,000 words. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Paul, MN, United States.

Saddlebred in the Making: Six Pack

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2015/03/six-pack.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Yes, I am talking about beer. Today's lesson focused on an exercise that resembles a six pack of beer. We also worked a little bit of canter on the circles- maybe doing some revers, then changing the bed, half halt and cantering a few strides at a time. This six pack exercise was great for Louie- got him working his hind legs more, and got him relaxed and paying attention. Some things to keep in mind while doing it were to keep the trot moving, keep ...

Saddlebred in the Making: October 2013

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Monday, October 28, 2013. Louie has been having too much fun I think- all play and no work. I went out to visit him today briefly, to do his fall deworming and give him his flu/rhino booster. Wow, was he fat! Perhaps it was just the angle I was seeing him from, or the fact that I don't think he's been touched in a couple of months. but he looked like he was about to give birth. He's even got a little ridge down his hindquarters! I've just lost some of my usual motivation. My fin...

Saddlebred in the Making: June 2014

http://saddlebredinthemaking.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Saddlebred in the Making. Monday, June 2, 2014. At the last minute I entered out in-barn schooling show with Louie this past weekend. It was really fun and a little nerve-wracking. I guess it had been a while since I'd experienced show nerves! I hadn't ridden basically since my lesson a month ago, except the night before the show, out of desperation. He was really good for that long of a vacation! Super responsive, listened to me, just like he never missed a beat! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Fun in the s...
