We went out to Ingalls Arena in Norco yesterday. Jim and Lani Muche came out to take some follow up pictures for their article in The Equestrian News. As always it was wonderful to see them and the great photos are attached!
I got to finally ride with Jennifer White and her mare Ruger and Mary and Striker, I am amazed at what Mary has done with Striker. Those horses are awesome! I was able to also meet Madelyn Wagner and her mare. That is a very athletic horse! She has done a bunch of good work on her mare! She can move diagonal across the arena at a floating trot like a dressage horse. Very responsive mare!
Hottie was there just gaiting around and wasn't thrilled about the bucking shutes but otherwise she was Hottie, trot, trot, trot, stop, beat, beat, beat! I really am torn between making her canter or just developing her gait. I know people who ride gaited horses want the horse for the gait. 
Well see what happens!

gait gait gait...whap!
ReplyDeleteit was very cool to meet madlyn and see "valentine" (her horse) and of course the always entertaining hottie! lol.
Lunch was awesome, thanks for waiting for our crazy asses to get there on our horses! :)
Go for the gait! I know a gal in Oregon who's been searching for a new gaited and she'd love if it were a mustang. Of course, the reason she's wanting gaited is due to her bad back, so she's unable to tackle green. But point being, there's a future for Hottie somewhere as a gaited mustang.
