Final & Eva: Back in the Saddle!
http://babyfinal.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-in-saddle.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Back in the Saddle! I'm back to riding y'all, and it feels great! I rode 4 times this past week. The first two times were just at the walk with a thick bareback pad on, and then last Sunday I rode at the walk and canter in my saddle! Last night I rode for about 30 mins., walking, trotting (posting) and cantering. It was great! That would have been terrible for him and I. I'm even thinking of maybe a show in November.Starr Vaughn perhaps. We'll see. They've taught me so much.

Wednesday, November 25, 2009. My instructor and friend, Ellen Eckstein, has just published a book! She also has a brand new training website up. I've posted the links under my "links" section. Check them out! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm proud to say that Final has helped me earn my Bronze Medal from USDF. My beloved Yochi got the scores we needed at First Level, and Final helped me get the scores needed at Second and Third Levels. I'm pretty proud of my boys! They've taught me so much.

Final & Eva: Hello Again
http://babyfinal.blogspot.com/2009/11/hello-again.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. I'm back to posting on my blog! Life is very different now than it was a year ago. Our little Izzy is just the center of our world, but I am still making time to ride Final between 4-5 days a week! People said riding would be set on the back burner once I had my baby, but nope, I knew I could balance the two. Ali watches Izzy while I spend time with my other baby. :). We also have great arena lights installed, making riding in the dark much more productive!

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Final's Showing this Sunday! Susan is also going to show Final at Pebble Beach over Fourth of July weekend. I have a hotel room booked for that, but of course, we'll see what happens with Isabella. I may be overwhelmed and not be up for traveling with her so soon, so we'll just have to wait and see. At any rate, with them luck! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). They've taught me so much. Up next, Silver Medal. Bringing It Together - Ellen Eckstein, Co-Author.

Monday, September 7, 2009. Final and Eva - Late Summer Update. I've been riding again, for about a month now. Ellen was up last weekend and we had 2 lessons with her. They were great, as always. I'm going to post a video so you can see what I'm talking about.Final feels fantastic! I'm really glad I had Susan ride him for me while I was busy having Izzy. Final is loose, supple, forward, and light! I'm enjoying each ride very much! Ellen said it's time to order my tail coat. PSG, look out!

Final & Eva: Riding at home
http://babyfinal.blogspot.com/2010/01/riding-at-home.html
Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Final and I just finished a wonderful ride. He was very active and forward, while on my aids the entire time. It was like we could do anything. Half pass piece of cake, changes, no problem, a little baby piaffe and passage, what? Easy peasy. It was Heaven! Here's a picture of the baby after our ride, savoring the flavor of his cookies.
