Heloooo

We have been practicing lots of dressage ;D which I am very excited about! We managed to use an arena which was all good. Zippys outside bend is really bad, which has been frustrating! So we have been doing some leg yielding. Her legs got clipped and the bad one is like 'wow :O' i swear its not even bad anymore! Before there was a huge lump, but theres like nothing now? Any how, we are going to see how the dressage goes. If it goes well, then we will start cantering! But most likely to be no more jumping with zippy :( I am upset about it ... but i love zippy and won't leave her:D A couple of my friend has offered to let me jump their ponies so its all good :) xx

I'm a ...

HAPPY HACKER =D
We have been doing lots of hacking recently, and me and the zippster are loving it! Yesterday we went to *Blah* Park and it was great! I was abit worried to start off though, as I had it drummed into me that zippy was going to bolt when we went into this field (Which has happened before), but everything was fine. Well every field we went into zippy was jogging non-stop! The fields were lush, that you could just gallop straight across. One field was so long it was like 'whoooosh :P' The views were also really nice to ride by and going across the valley etc. We rode for about 3 and a half hours in the end, and zippys leg was perfect! Then today we went out in the trailor again, to this wood place, which was really nice and the sun was shining :) Zippy was alot more relaxed, and yeah it was just really nice :) I also have a surpise with what i'm doing with zippy on the 1st feb, which i thought we'd never ever be able to do again! But I will make a video once i have done it!:P
