She’s back!
Well it has been over a year since she left, and many months
since I’ve seen her, but the Lovely Miss Lola is back!
Her young rider jumped her for me when they brought her back
so that I could see what they had accomplished. I was very impressed, and Lola
was happy as a clam to jump around with her. She was landing her leads, and
clearing everything with room to spare. (2’7” vertical, and 2’9” oxer, and we
didn’t put them up higher only because the arena was hard.) Most important, they we're both relaxed and confident with everything they did. I am so pleased that they both had such a positive experience!
I can’t wait for our first jumping lesson. But in the mean
time, we’ll working on getting to know each other again so that we can be ready
for Saturday’s dressage show. Yikes! Only days to go!
Lola settled into her new pasture very easily. No drama or
squealing! She just trotted around like she was putting her stamp of approval
on it, then she settled in to graze with her new buddies.
The poor girl looks
like a pony compared to her two 17h+ pasture mates!
