Dapple of My Eye: April 2015

http://tailsofagradstudent.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Monday, April 27, 2015. Guess who got a new computer for their birthday, upgraded their phone (decent camera), AND started taking lessons again? So that lovely mix of new technology and something to blog about means, just maybe, I'll try this blogging thing again. I've missed it of course. So, a lot has happened since we have chatted last. But maybe, at the same time not so much has changed. Any guesses on his breed? Other tha...

Dapple of My Eye: April 2012

http://tailsofagradstudent.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Monday, April 30, 2012. Positive (and large, daisy cutting) Ones! Our new trainer Heather got on last weekend while I was out of town (at my parents' celebrating my. (gulp) 26th Birthday). She reported that my horse was being a bit of a jerk and he hated his bit, but she got some good work out of him after about 15 minutes. Don't you love progress? Here is to continued success and BiG Strides :). Thursday, April 12, 2012.

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Saturday, May 4, 2013. In the ring again. Gosh I love being back in the saddle! Now that half marathon training is over, I've been riding both Granite and Jazz on most evenings. Boy it feels good for all three of to be getting back in shape! This show will be MY first time back in the ring since 2004. Lets hope that by putting in some serious time and effort, fools won't be made of us :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe ...

Dapple of My Eye: Two-A-Days

http://tailsofagradstudent.blogspot.com/2013/04/two-days.html

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Thursday, April 25, 2013. Have I told you about that little issue I have. The one where I don't own a trailer (or a truck)? Yeah, and that my barn owner has a trailer. But, it wasn't made for 17hand 1300lb beasts like Granite? Well, its true story. Has culminated, I figured, I could ride two horses. Stay with me here. My barn owner's mare, Jazz, fits in her trailer (imagine that). And she said she would love for me to take...

Dapple of My Eye: The Benefits of Friends

http://tailsofagradstudent.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-benefits-of-friends.html

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Sunday, May 3, 2015. The Benefits of Friends. As I mentioned in my last post, I've recently re-connected with a high school/college friend, A, who rides and suggested that I ride with her trainer. I had a lesson last week and it was wonderful! I have one scheduled for next Friday also (that will certainly get you through a work week). What is even better is that my coworker, T, is also riding with A's trainer. Yay for big feet.

Dapple of My Eye. Tails" of a 20-something and her grey gelding, Graf Granite. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Consistency Leads to Change. Some balanced canter. Still working on getting him soft though. Jen introduced some "scary" elements to our jump schooling. He was convinces that he was being asked to jump a GIANT monster. I'll be procuring some flowers shortly to incorporate. Saddle pads don't scare Granite. any more. Schooling at about 2'3 - 2'6 regularly. Don't ask me whats up with my lower leg. A 17hh, ...
