Hey guys! I know I've been MIA for a while, but I've been super busy with school and my horse! My horse, Reno, is in training 6 days a week, and I work with him everyday, so whenever I'm not doing schoolwork I'm out at the barn with him :] That's why it's been difficult for me to be active around here, but I promise I haven't gone far! For anyone who doesn't know, Reno is a (just turned) 7 y/o OTTB who raced until he was 5. He has only been in formal hunter training for ~1 year, and has only really been jumping since I bought him. I just thought I would share some pictures with y'all of our first show together last month (which happened to be an away show since we don't host them at our barn). Reno has never shown before, and this was my comeback show from a two year break. He was, as my trainer put it, very "over stimulated", but I managed to make it out in one piece so that's an accomplishment in itself! xD We only showed in crossrails (obviously didn't want to push it at his first show), but have been schooling 2' - 2'6 at home. Considering we could barely make it over poles when I first bought him six months ago, this is nothing short of amazing! Out of six classes, we pinned in two, which I wasn't expecting at all, but it was definitely a confidence booster! Just a disclaimer: ignore my eq - I was focused on keeping him calm and not falling off! x3
Warm up canter!
He's such a model x3
He has got the longest stride! Ignore my nasty broken wrists - it's an issue I'm working on xS
I just thought this was a cute picture :]
LOVE this picture! He's looks perfect, and I, for once, look decent :]
This was our least awkward jump xD
Pats for the good pony!~
That's the look of concentration! xD
Anddd this happened! A "scary" horse trailer went rattling by the arena, so Reno thought it was an appropriate time to half rear. I was so shaken up after this but managed to finish the rest of my classes with out much more excitement.
So artsy! <3
All pictures were taken by a friend of mine! <3
