My only goal is to enter and exit the arena on top of my horse at this point!

It firms up your training and you'll come out of it with great feedback from the judge to plan your next phase of training. <br />I was terrified taking my horse to his first show (also Intro tests), but once you do it things come more easily. It will be a great experience.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-42812072002168074452011-11-15T15:25:12.366-05:002011-11-15T15:25:12.366-05:00What a cute picture of you two!

I am hauling to ride in a real dressage court, horse braided, and in my fancy clothes-- in WHITE BREECHES, after all--AND I'm paying to ride there. That is all. <br /><br />As for the bath, color doesn't seem to make any difference when they live outside. I have a chestnut, and HE looks a mess, too. <br /><br />YOU WILL DO FINE!!! And do tape your rides ;o)TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-46976083099761349972011-11-15T12:37:23.415-05:002011-11-15T12:37:23.415-05:00You won't know until you try, right?

So the most important thing to remember is to stay safe and HAVE FUN!!! You can do that even when you mess up your test, get eliminated or go off course, trust me, I know ;)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472219069662152722noreply@blogger.com
