Well here goes … I’m off to working equitation tomorrow to try something new. Exciting yes, but I’ve no idea of all the rules or requirements as I’ve not yet even done a training day. What could go wrong 😊? However, I got to work on some obstacles yesterday, which I took full advantage of at Mungar Road Neighborhood Arena. To add to the chaos, the horse I was planning on riding became lame on Wednesday so I’ve had to pull my awesome old 20yo stock horse out of the paddock and dust him off for the event. He’s great in his own right and still competes but isn’t experienced in obstacles and has zero, yes zero dressage training, the two components of working equitation I’ll be doing tomorrow. Given I’m only doing intro level, it’s all slow paced so fitness wise, he’ll be fine. Anyway, just sharing the info and encouraging everyone to get out there and try some new stuff.
