Yesterday, I hung around HITS all day, and Libby got the day off. She was supposed to get a training ride, but my trainer said the sales ran too late so she would ride her today. I love being around the show here, but it really makes me want to go home and be at the show at home with all my old barn friends.
Today, I also hung around the show, and then went to watch my trainer ride her. Libby was good, but my trainer said she still felt a little sore. My trainer kept saying how its a good thing she switched the show date because Libby wasn’t ready and she didn’t want to push her…. Hm, sounds like something I said to her huh? Anyways, since my photographer friend was there with me, I got some pictures of Lib schooling a bit. Since she was still sore, she didn’t do as much as we had planned for her to do, but still. Sorry that some of the pictures are a bit blurry, don’t know what happened, and like I’ve said before, I do no agree with my trainers decision to not wear a helmet. I always wear mine, only get one brain, but thats her choice. Well, here they are 🙂

I don’t necessarily like her in the gag, I feel like she stretches down through the arc of the jump much more without it, but that was her bit of choice today. Overall I was a little sad that poor Lib is still uncomfortable, but I’m happy that she ended on a good note. I think we just need to give the supplements time to work, and give her time to feel better. Like I said before, I only get one Libby and there are other shows/times I can show her, I just want her to feel like her old self again.
Going out tomorrow to check on her. In other news, I bought my first Extreme Air shirt today! These shirts are so popular right now, and I really wanted one in Burgundy, so when I saw them in the local tack store for cheap I snagged one! Woohoo for deals!
Nice pics, you are from Wellington?

Great pics! Write some about how you like that shirt. I'd love something to block my farmers tan but cool enough to ride in this Texas heat.

I have been wanting one, ever since I saw someone wearing it at the horse show. I like mine, but I'm in between sizes, so I opted for the smaller size, since I looked like I was swimming in the larger size. I don't know if its my body type or if the sizing is just weird. But its comfortable. I can't comment on if it really helps with the cooling aspect though, since its not exactly hot here yet.

Actually it is your choice if your coach wears a helmet on your horse, and if she falls off your horse – you can be sued. Just an FYI.
