Great Meadow International 2019 – Cross Country
To continue on from yesterday’s Show Jumping post, we move right on into cross country. Except today I took B and the husband! And then ended up spending most of the time taking care of B, so really, it was a bit difficult to get the pictures and videos that I wanted. Really though, wouldn’t […]
Great Meadow International 2019 – Show Jumping
Ah, another year, another Great Meadow International. I believe that’s the saying. I love that Great Meadow hosts so many events, primarily because it’s minutes away from my house. It really makes it convenient when world class competition and events literally come to me. Now that I have B, getting out of the house is […]
The 3rd Inspection
The second day was the free jumping. The dressage horses went first, followed by the jumpers, although the format was the same. First, they were run around the arena in a figure 8 to show those lead changes, then they were sent down the chute. Sadly my battery wasn’t charged (dang confusing foreign outlets!) so […]
The 2nd Inspection
The afternoon of the first day was the 2nd Inspection. First, all the jumping stallions were led into the ring and then free lunged. After they got a chance to strut their stuff, they were collected and strutted their stuff out of the ring. The DJ would put on an up-tempo song, the audience would […]
The Westfalen Facility
After a very wet morning, the rest of the inspection was inside. Thank goodness! There was a lunch break which allowed for some time to explore and marvel at the facility. I’m very upset with myself because I failed to get pictures of the door handles, which were the “W” inspection brand. But, maybe you […]
Westfalen Stallion Trot Off
After visiting the fantastic Bavarian region of Germany, we moved on to the actual reason for our visit. As a member of Westfalen NA, I was invited to make the trip to Germany to attend the Westfalen Stallion Licensing. Likely this was the kind of invite that is only extended out of politeness, but we took […]
My First Jumper Show
A friend talked me into doing a jumper show last weekend. I initially thought, but, I do hunters, but then I decided it didn’t really matter and I’m going to do it anyway. It’d be fun! It was a fun experience, but I do need to make some changes to make the next one much […]
First Show of the Year
We took the mismatched bays out to a local hunter show, and overall, it went great! It was such a fun day, I can’t wait to do it again. D’Arcy rode little bay Pony Man. She was initially going to take him in the green pony division, but apparently green ponies is only for children, […]
Hunter Pace
If you’re wondering why I put up posts at a snail’s pace, it’s because I have a new job. It’s a pretty awesome job, but I end up having very little free time. When I get home, I either want to fall asleep, or just become comatose. Dave, understanding my exhaustion, has been offering to […]
