#TBT . . Literally my first emotions. . . Turns out today is my 1st anniversary with Allianss. I could have sworn it was the 15th but Google knows better 😂 . . "I don't know how to ride a horse like him." . . Having been riding at riding schools for more than 2 years I felt I needed to change something. And then his half-lease post popped up on my feed. But switching from group lesson horses to a horse like him presented a massive learning curve. Which I am still yet to fully conquer, but the past year has taught me so much about horses; I have met so many interesting people, all (horse-) mad, of course; I have had to face so many of my fears; I have done so many things I never dreamed I would be able to do; survived so many things I was sure I would not survive 😁 and learned so much about myself. . . And although the sentiment hasn't changed, I still don't feel like I know how to ride him, or any other horse, but I am so-so grateful to the people wo have been patient with me, have endured all my stupid questions and have been supporting, helping, motivating and teaching me. . . I had 'big' plans for the new season, meaning I was determined to perform the local ABC test to a semi decent level 😂 But saddle fit, equine fitness and other issues have gotten in the way so although I still hope we will be able to compete this season, it is not the be-all and end-all. What I value above any ridden accomplishment is the fact that I can take him to unfamiliar surroundings, throw pool noodles around him, mess with duct tape and scissors under his belly and he is still calm and safe. . . I can't believe my luck that I stumbled upon him and that his owner was and has been patient enough to tolerate a beginner rider like me And our trainer is worth her weight in gold and more And my husband has been spectacular with the nippy 4-legged monster he doesn't quite understand but has a special relationship with And I am so thankful I have a friend/colleague I can pester with stupid questions. @anssandme @mariskartau @the_swoc @kikuaun . . #Allianss #2020 #onwardsandupwards #horsesofinsta #equestrianThe weather outside has been frightful, but at least there are no fires like in Aus which is delightful. And even though some people want it to snow, I don't think it's that bad if it doesn't. . . . #merychristmas #letitsnow #ornot #pleasesantaweneedasaddle #horsesofinsta #wintertime #Allianss #bestchristmastreeWe've been having some saddle fit issues. So lots of groundwork till we find a good one. . . Yesterday, for example, we worked on ear mobility 😁 . . . @anssandme . #Allianss #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #equestrian #whatisgoingon #groundwork #thebestest #saddlefittingThe most innocent of innocent faces 😇 .
