I don't seem to get around to posting much about Maverick. So this afternoon when I rode I took some pictures to share with you! I'm sorry they are only phone quality.

Haltered and brushed. |

Tacked up ready to go. |
We went out into the paddock and trotted around. I have to work on getting him to really trot out. It is only really now that my seat and rising trot are good enough for a decent sized trot. So because for the last while I have only been doing short stints of slow trotting he thinks that is all he has to do. He got some rhythm going today though which was great.
I didn't ride for that long because it was pretty windy. But I feel like we made progress, especially because he had a holiday and I've only just been riding him again.

Here is an interesting selfie to leave you with. (And in case you aren't sure, yes I am on the ground.) |
Nice horse. [Well, the girl too.]
ReplyDeleteThanks. Haha!
DeleteI LOVE your horse, it has been my dream to get one as long as I can remember! I do go riding a little with a friend but not very often.
ReplyDeleteI hope that someday I will get one. ❤️
