#otttanak #rallyestonia #shellhelixrallyestonia #rally #wrc #toyotagazooracingSome work is being done at our apartment building, so we spent June at my mum's place to escape the noise and everything else. But driving to work and to the stables from there got a bit tiring (4500 km in 4 weeks...). And a dear friend kindly offered her summer cottage, so here we are. 10 minutes to the barn, 5 minutes to town, a big garden and quiet neighbours. And Alfred feels right at home. We could get used to this... #Alfred #catsofinstagram #rescuedcats #whitecatsofinstagram #thecatthattravelsCompeting off-property ✔️ Full story in comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Allianss #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #dressageToday didn't go quite as I hoped. But the positives: the horzie didn't buck me off (even if I deserved it), we did not struggle with canter from left lead (well, just a tad), despite the X amount of times I said "I don't want to start" during warmup I still started, we did not get eliminated, my trainer did not disown me and the most important thing, I have the best supporters in the world. The negatives I would rather not talk about, the results are online for everyone to see. 📷@anssandme #Allianss #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #dressage #dressagetest #dressagefail #equestrian #thebestselfie #backontrack #2ndcompetitionSo we will be competing again this coming weekend if all goes to plan. We'll start with the familiar ABC1 and hopefully improve our previous score (he's got the moves, I simply have to allow him to show them) and then we'll do a level up and also ride the A2 test. Fun fact, thus far we have practiced it exactly 0 times. But at least I'm allowed to post the trot and the main aim is to get some competing experience under my belt, so not aiming for ribbons. In our lessons there has been a very recognisable shift in quality. During the first months I was so focussed on trying to find myself that I let him get away with being lazy as hell (because even his lazy movements were about the same speed or faster than the ones I was used to from group lessons). But over time I realised that if he was moving on his own, versus me having to constantly edge him on, the ride was so much more comfortable and less exhausting for me. Again, the old mantra, lots of work etc. But I think I might be starting to develop an inkling of "feel" in the saddle, and it feels bloody great 😊 #Allianss #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #dressage #noideawhatimdoingCouldn't do any of it without you 💕 #husbandappreciation #horseyhusband #horsesofinstagram #Allianss #equestrian #equestrianlife
