It is supposed to rain all weekend. Doing pretty steadily for Saturday, anyway, but that cannot dampen my enthusiasm for Getting Things Done, damn it.

Not all the things, obvi, the grass is getting horrorshow over here )

With the return of decent weather comes the return of dressage clinic-ing. Now, we never really stopped dressage this year what with our DLC outings in the dead of winter, but we didn't DLB because she's a Fair Weather Clinician. And with fairer weather... she's ba-ack.

It's whining all the way down. )

So my friend Trys and I went to a Mary Wanless clinic (first day of a 3 day thing) to see what that might be like. It was... illuminating.

So DLB came back again for Sunday the 31st and August the 1th (this is pronounced Oneth). I don't exactly have a tow rig right now because Agricultural Drone Spraying is happening but horse friend N. who DOES NOT live "on the way" or in any way convenient to carpooling with me and Bird offered to give us a ride to DLB anyway which was SUPER thoughtful and kind.

How'd that go? )

We have a dressage clinic coming up at the end of August, so like two weeks away. It's per the usual, with DLB who has seen us plenty of times before. Unlike our previous effort, horse has been more or less sound and in regular work. He's getting fitter, or at least I like to think he's getting fitter.

More about the horse behind the cut. I am all about truth in advertising. )

With any luck, I’m dragging Bird to a dressage clinic outing on Saturday April 1. More the fool me, because it’s with Dressage Lady Barb, for whom we have ridden previously on numerous occasions. We rode for Barb in September, 2015, in spring (May?) 2016 which I don’t have an entry for, twice in June 2016 at Adult Horse Camp, and also once in July 2016

Read more? It's extra whiny. )

I keep going to clinics because they make me unhappy with my riding…

It's the Return of DLB! )

 Went out and dressage clinic’d with Bird today.  He’s my four year old, started under saddle this spring, and he doesn’t have a whole lot of skills.  Mostly I took him out because my pony lady needed more warm bodies at her clinic thing and it doesn’t hurt him to Go Out and Do Things.  I didn’t expect much because he’s a baby but I ponied up my sixty-five dollars and drug my four year old out to the dressage clinic.  My instructor was enthusiastic about me going to this damn clinic because she allowed as how it would be Very Good for my riding. Read how it went? )
