I spent part of my night baking horse treats to give as gifts to the various equine-owning people in my life. They came out well, I think. I guess I won't know for sure until they get horse-tested, though. . . .

This spring is bringing some exciting changes. One of 'em is happening this week-- I'm moving Sarge to a different barn.
This was a pretty flip-floppy sort of decision. Originally, my friend . . .

So, yesterday we moved Sarge and two of his friends. It went really well! I skipped two classes to do so (I can make up the work, and I wasn't going to miss being there) and met Kat (who, with her . . .

I had my first horse show of the season yesterday. It was only my second time doing jumpers, which is all about going fast and not knocking things down.
For shows, I ride a horse named Snickers (well, . . .

It was an early morning. Too early, for me, but that's to be expected on a horse show day. I woke my mom, and we readied ourselves. Breeches, boots, show shirt... make sure not to forget the helmet, gloves, . . .

My friend Kate, who has her three horses (War Bandit, Lefty and Scotch) with Sarge, invited me to use one of her horses to go on a rail ride last weekend, with Mike, who has a trailering business and . . .

And now, part two!
The Lipizzaner breed is an only one, and each horse can be traced back to one of six stallions: Pluto, Conversano, Maestoso, Favory, Neopolitano, or Siglavy. A lot of the horses . . .

On Saturday, a group of people from the barn were planning on bringing their horses to Island Beach State Park in NJ for some trail riding along the beach. I decided that it would be good to bring Sarge, . . .

This is not the kind of update I wanted to be writing for Sarge.
For those who don't know, Sergeant Pepper is the almost-a-yearling horse that I'm working with at school. I'm hoping to . . .

Sergeant Pepper did fine overnight at the vets' and is coming home today. I thank everyone who sent good thoughts our way! I can finally stop playing the role of worried mother. And he'll be back . . .

So, on the 16th, I had another show with Atticus, the horse I've been riding a lot lately. We'd shown the week before, as well, and gotten Grand Champion , but I'll admit it was raining for that show, . . .

I took Jacob to meet Sarge for the first time yesterday and got some cute photos... I figured I'd share them :)
"Ooh, what's this? Another human with a tasty camera?"

Here's Part II of the last horse show of the season.
When I left off in Part I, Atticus was being grumpy about slowing down to pause between our second course and its Jump Off. Then they sounded . . .

Months ago, my friend got us tickets to go see the Lipizzaner stallions perform in Trenton, NJ. She'd said, at the time, that they were good seats. I figured we'd be near the front.
Well, the time for . . .

On Saturday, I had a horse show. That isn't really unusual for this season; it's been the norm since I joined the Equestrian Team at Rutgers my freshman year. Except that, now, I've completed . . .

Well, I rode Snickers in my lesson last night. It went much, much better than the show. We still had a few snags here and there, but the last practice course we did went beautifully-- flew energetic over . . .

Well, a lot of the yearlings didn't sell at the auction, Shivna included. The economy just isn't a good one for buying a horse...

I had my last horse show of the year on November 7th. It was cold, so I don't really mind that it'll be the last until spring rolls around, but I've been having a blast showing Atticus, so I'll miss that . . .

I originally took these photos for the summerpics promo, but they never made it up. I figure that now is as good of a time as any to share them!
