Horse outing!
Apr. 14th, 2024 09:24 pmToday I had a Horse Outing to friend N's new(ish) dressage arena. It's an outdoor with the confidence-building qualities of level, fenced, and nice footing mix of sand and stonedust. Bird (who does not like straight up stonedust by itself) really liked the footing.
His fat, middle-aged rider really appreciated the level and fenced qualities of the work area. (FMAR experiences some dread working canter efforts on grass fields where there can be random spooking on soft, wet grass. Like, horse could slip, fall over, crush rider's knee, etc. There are some fear/middle-age issues there.)
Truck ran well after the first ten minutes of assorted wetness in the fuel. I put in additives but it rained all last week, so... there was damp. When it's damp, the truckie has a hitch in his giddyup.
N's horse is really starting to come together in a visible way. Like, she's just so much more solid and confident, starting to carry herself fancy to where the llama of her youth rarely even makes an appearance. It's really nice to see them progress.
( Was there media from this outing? )
