I took advantage of the brief reprieve from rain to take my mare through the obstacles.
You can see from my huge puffy jacket -- there is still a bit of winter clinging on here in Vermont.
This bridge has been part of our training 'package' forever -- and actually many of our lesson riders take their mounts over it. Keri loves the bridge and she can back over it as well. Such a clever girl she can be :)
Some of the time anyway.
Tarp alley -- blowy today... so that adds a bit more challenge. Zoe and Elektra are photographers and seems they shot more video than photo's. Here's the tarp and on to the owl... big yawn :)
Here we are backing through the tarp -- just for something different. and our turn at the teeter-totter. Obviously this obstacle needs an up-date.. it's too easy.
Due to high winds and stormy weather, I have a few obstacles that will need repair. Keri and I are actually working lately on a new goal. When we get half way decent at our execution -- I'll post some photo's and or video :) It's a great challenge but not on the list... just a goal of mine for Keri and me.
So -- off I am to seek that elusive spring -- Enjoy ~

That is SO cute how Elektra and Keri stepped on the teeter totter to put it down before walking on it!! I wonder if Reese would do that? I love photos but it is so much more fun watching the videos. Thanks for always being such an inspiration Betsy and Zoe..oh and your amazing curlies!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that video of you two conquering the teeter-totter is great! And I was also very impressed with you backing through the tarp alley. THAT is hard to do!
ReplyDeleteThat teeter-totter looks a little challenging! When my exams are done I'm going to have to try that with Bijou. Great job, she looks like a pro at it!!! (I also love how she lifted her leg to put it down, so cute)
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing some of these before trying them. I'm really looking forward to the tarp alley and barrels too! Great job, you are always so fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that beautiful side pass you did on Keri before the tire obstacle! BEAUTIFUL. =]
