*Tessa and I have been doing a lot of riding these days - a couple of weekends ago we went out with some riders from the Endurance group - we were marking trail and enjoying the trails - they were wonderful! I got one picture of me on *Tessa and my honey on his NSH, can you see I am wearing my RAC shirt? I am really looking forward to the endurance ride in this riding area, just gorgeous!
And then, last weekend there was a dressage training day and I took *Tessa to that. This was the first time we have done this in at least two years - she was actually pretty calm and well behaved - I was very happy with her.
Here is one picture of her:
That is all I have time for right now - these are very busy days of spring!

She is really pretty, what nice pictures you got!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Yes, I noticed your RAC shirt. How far do you generally ride when you are training for endurance? How many times per week?
ReplyDeleteI love Tessa's color! How unique! Wondeful training!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, well, it varies - the important thing is to keep riding them on a consistent basis. It also depends on the horse, some maintain their condition easily and others need a lot of riding to maintain. Generally speaking though - at least three times a week, a hour to two hours each ride, trotting and cantering the whole time :)
Janeen, thanks so much, Tessa is a "pintaloosa" She looks almost white in the winter, darker in the summer :)
