Profile Information

About Me:
I have been riding for close to eight years now, I ride at three different barns, Eastwood Farms, Quarter Line Farms, and Redwood Farms, and mostly train hunter equitation and would really like to compete in jumpers and eventing in the future. At Eastwood Farms I mostly take lessons where they focus on equitation, and riding hunter, at Quarterline Farms I enjoy riding with my barn friends, and help my instructor train/ride foundation quarter horses. At Redwood Farms, I train and show, Bunny (Shamrock Ahlikarma) an Arab Pony, who I have competed in the past two show seasons and have made it to districts in 4-H for the past two years. Additionally I am currently training a Welsh X pony for the owner of Redwood Farms daughters. I also own a 6 year old Sport Pony gelding named Leroy or Catch a Falling Star, Leroy is currently being trained hunter but once he excels at hunter I think he has the athletic ability to compete in eventing and jumpers. In addition to all of that, I enjoy showing in local hunter and open shows whenever I get the opportunity too (;

Saturday and Sunday's Rides (:

Saturday October 3, 2009-Today I had a lesson at Eastwood in the morning and rode Star (Chestnut TB). Then later in the afternoon I rode Leroy. In my lesson at Eastwood, we started out doing flat work each direction, double posting, 2pt., sitting trot, canter each direction, and picking a certain point to ask for a simple lead change. Next, we worked on jumping some singles, and a few courses. I focused on getting a long enough straight approach to each fence, and worked on getting the right can… Continue

Thursday's Ride and Friday's Lesson

Friday October 2, 2009-Today I trailered Bunny over to Quarterline Farm for a lesson to work in the indoor, and just work Bunny in a larger arena. I started out by trotting Bunny around in the indoor. Today I rode in spurs, so Bunny was very responsive when I worked on getting her to move her hip and give her barrel. After warming up with some circles and figure eights, the rain let up and we went to ride in the outdoor. I started out by cantering to a cross rail as a warm up. Next I jumped a li… Continue

Sunday and Monday's Rides

September 28, 2009-Today I rode Leroy at Redwood Farms. Leroy was very well behaved despite the windy weather. I started out by letting Leroy walk around the ring on a loose, relaxed rein. Then I let Leroy go up into the trot. At first Leroy was a bit resistant and distracted, so I did some circles, changes of direction, and transitions. Soon Leroy became more relaxed and I was able to keep a soft flowing contact with his mouth. Next I had Leroy canter both directions, I did a few circles and we… Continue

Past Weeks Rides (:

Saturday September 26, 2009-Today I had a lesson on Leroy at Eastwood Farms. At the beginning of the ride we did a lot of circling each direction until Leroy was think and listening to my aids. Then I did some cantering circles and canter to trot transitions. Next once Leroy was at a slow steady canter I took Leroy up over the outside birch single. Leroy stayed quiet to the fence, then after the fence we transitioned from the canter into the trot. Then we took Leroy over a few other singles at t… Continue

Wednesday and Thursday's Rides

Wednesday September 16, 2009-Today I rode Bunny at the walk trot ad canter. I worked at first on getting her to mover/give her hip and barrel, once I got bunny all limber and stretched out at the walk we went into the trot. I worked on some circles, and getting bunny to come off my inside leg and rein into my outside rein. Towards the end of the ride after doing some cantering each direction I got bunny to stretch down into a consistent functional frame, while driving underneath herself, and I w… Continue

The Past 3 Rides

Sunday September 13, 2009-Today I worked bunny at the walk, trot and canter. Today I focused on getting bunny to move forward off my leg, move her shoulder, give her barrel, and propel herself forward from the hind end without getting heavy on her forehand. I also did lots of circles with bunny, and work on my eq. and flying lead changes. Next, I did some jumping with bunny over two single diagonal fences. I practiced on keeping back and quiet up to the fence but keeping a leg on her up to the f… Continue

Tuesday and Wednesday's Rides

9/9/09-Today I started out getting bunny to give to the bit side to side and she responded with a soft and supple mouth, next at the trot and canter I focused on getting bunny to step forward into the bit with a lot of impulsion and reach from the hind end. I also tried to get bunny to loosen her barrel, lift her shoulder and use her back correctly. Then I got Bunny to do a few flying lead changes, and did some jumping over a few diagonal single crossrails. I focussed on getting bunny to have a… Continue

Monday's Rides (: 9/7/09

Today I went out to Eastwood Farms and rode Red (one of the lesson horses) and Leroy. While riding Red I worked him both directions at the trot and canter, I focused on keeping Red off of his forehand. Red was good about his leads and keeping and walk to canter transitions. After grooming Red when I was done riding him I went to groom Leroy. In my lesson with Leroy I first did a lot of circling and worked on being consistent and not jerky or grabbing on the reins, once Leroy calmed down a bit I… Continue
