Raider Lodge

Took Cobs down to Raider Lodge today for some jumping - just wanted to do some small stuff to see how he was etc. Haven't jumped since June so thought he would be quite excited but wasn't really!

Only rode for about 30 minutes - we are both pretty tired from our lesson yesterday so just wanted to keep it short & sweet.

Here are some photos - first time for Mum using the camera while I am jumping so we have to work out a few things LOL!

Small Jump :)

Lesson Time!

Had another dressage lesson today which went really well. Cobs was so much more relaxed than he has been lately so we spent the lesson concentrating on getting him to stretch down and relax over the back. He tends to get a bit stuck so it was a good reminder on how to warm him up for shows etc - much easier to do when we aren't leaping around at the monsters LOL!


He ended up doing some really nice work & the instructor & I are both really happy with his progress. If this keeps up we won't be too far behind where we left off last season which will be awesome :)

Here are some photos...

One tired pony LOL!!

Weekend Riding

Yesterday we just went down to our friends arena for some work...apparently there were horse eating boogie men everywhere in the arena so we didn't get that great a work out! Never mind, lesson next weekend so sure that will iron out some issues :)


Today I took him down to the Helensville Showgrounds for a walk out. They have an inside track which has sand on it so it was nice to walk/trot out on. First time we have been down there for months so it was nice to go somewhere different. Luckily no horse eating monsters were seen today so it was a relaxing time!

Looking for the monsters....
