"Look mum, we're crossing the centerline almost in balance!!" *best picture of the entire test 📷@the_swoc #Allianss #amateureverything #dressagetest #dressage #traininglevel #horsesofinstagram #luckyshot #firstshow #abc1A motivating pat (mostly to encourage me...) before entering the ring, and off we went. I didn't die, didn't fall off, completed the test and we even scored above the 60% mark. A mighty fine result, if I may say so myself. And I can't thank @mariskartau enough for coming to my rescue in the warmup ring. I managed to unnerve myself, thus the horse so bad I was about to dismount and not start at all. But somehow she managed to calm me down. Now the hard work begins. When I was riding the test everything went by so fast but watching a video of our performance, we are simply plodding along (which the judges also noted) and Anss has no freedom to show his movement. I MUST get over my fear of letting the horse run and I have to learn how to sit back and enjoy the ride. That was the gist of one of the judges' comments, and also, what my trainer has been telling me all along: "let the horse run, show his movement". Ugh. We'll get there eventually. #Allianss #soshiny #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #competitonday #dressage #firstouting #trainingleveldressage #nevernormal #backontrack #eq3 #botlynxWe are making our show debut this coming weekend and let's just say the preparation period has not been very good. I had a nasty fall a week ago. No, not off the horse. I slipped in the freaking bathtub #facepalm #whodoesthat 😭 So my ribs are bruised, my right side randomly cramps up when I try to use my core, today was my first ride in a week and everything is a disaster, basically. But the pony is so lovely and even if I can't show off everything I have learned in the past months because my body won't cooperate because I am literally the person who will die in a showering accident 😂 I can still show up and try my best and learn from the experience. 📷@anssandme #Allianss #excusesexcuses #dressage #equestrianlife #equestrian #horsesofinstagramSo, how has your week been so far? #nottrash #justme #estonianweather #estoniannature #selfie #nem2019 #ypef #ypef2019 #neverworkwithchildrenoranimalsSunsets and manure piles, and educational rides 📷@anssandme #Allianss #horsesareawesome #horsesofinstagram #equestrianThis is the face of a cat who got her wish #thebestlife #Alfred #springtime #sunshine #catsofinstagram #whitecatsofinstagram #rescuedcat
