I'm a Dressage Horse Now!

...nope, I think I want to be a racehorse again.

Apparently this was his first show. He was fine, but I think the wind made some sound that set him off. Well ridden.

Such a...

..magnificent stallion. So dignified. He would never be caught dead...

...yeah, right.

Oh dear...

...apparently this dressage horse just couldn't get focused today.

The rider handles it really nicely, but...yeah. That's one upset, spooky horse. Something on the other side of that fence is a horse eating monster.

Oh dear...

...I think somebody has ridiculously too much energy.

I want one...

...and who wouldn't.

She's still working out how to donkey.

Yank, yank...

...I don't care how good a rider you are, he was on this horse's mouth too much, and...

Let me out!

She wants to be with her buddies. You can't see them, but you can tell where they are.

Let's...

...zoom through the countryside on itty bitty horses!

They're so cute. (And so comfortable, trust me).

I guess...

...turnout wasn't happening today, so how about ball time!

It's spring-like here, but...

...snow horses are still fun.

You are supposed...

...to stay on the track.

It's all going well until about 1:50. Ow. Silly horse...

I had...

...quite the night at the barn. Two people fell off, I had a horse try to kick another horse through a wall...with the hoof I was picking out at the time (not. Recommended).

So, yeah, it was something like this:

Too many people trying to keep hold of their horse...

What an...

...idiot.

Somehow nobody was hurt. He apparently had some kind of psychotic break...

Well, hello there!

Who's that doggy?

Apparently a neighbor's dog who got loose and came to say hi to the horsies!

Ow....

Faceplanting horse! Okay except for a bloody nose (horse) and some sand burn (rider).

I think they shouldn't have switched leads in front of the fence...

Oh dear...

Not the best team chase round ever. (note the best three riders count).

Let's play...

...squish the pony.

Pony says NOPE!

And more...

...snow ponies. Shetland foal with snow on his little back and a case of the zoomies!

Winter...

is over...and these guys are going to miss it.

Age...

...is just a number.

This mare is 30! Most thirty-year-old horses are sunning in the pasture and telling people to get off their lawn.

I had an...

...awful day dealing with government bureaucracy. Here, have a 1 day old draft horse.
