Rodeo Pony

It wasnt the rodeoing that got me off...it was the sudden halt at the end lol...

Woodhill Sands for schooling

Rach and Molly...

A week of firsts...

First lesson with Molly, first time at a new location, and first time ridden at woodhill sands.

Lesson was awesome.....trot poles and small grids. Took her up to Woodhill Sands to do some flat schooling and go for a hack around the place. There was nobody else there and its quite a big spooky place to be, but she acted like she'd been there all her life.

She's a bit of a ponce with the weather though, and because she is stabled at night and out during the day, it is at times a battle to get her to come out of her box and go into the paddock lol. She doesnt like being wet!

Leanne cantering Miss Molly

Yee haa Grandmaa.

Miss Molly jumped for the first time under saddle today. Just started with a tiny X-bar and then made a small upright. Trotted her down to it and she boinged over it. Only did it a couple of times as she was getting a bit keen!

Luv this pony to bits. Today was the first time since Ive owned her that anyone else has ridden her. Leanne had a play and was the Crash Test Dummy for the jumping - well, I had to be on the ground to take photos, right?

haha

Leanne is tiny and Miss Molly hardly registered that she was on board.....

Finally Miss Molly is very happy to work in a longer frame and swing over her back. She did some lovely longer, lower work at trot and then also at canter.

Roll on next season!
