My favourite season is back...just in time to settle into a nice easy training transition with Miss Bugatti. She is so easygoing, she has already become the "pony" horse for several horses a few years older than her who are nervous nellies around the stable, and she is asked to buddy up with them to guide them past scary bouncing babies hooked up to their jolly jumpers and puddles on the ground, saddle pads where they don't normally lay on the hitching post, etc. She couldn't care less! It makes me so proud and very impressed with all the work the Bruners' have done with her throughout her young life so far.
I gave her yesterday off and longed her lightly today, wanted to give my back a bit of a break, which probably wasn't the best idea. Did I tell you I actually have 3 fractures, not 2? Yeah. It's painful but I find it actually helps the swelling and mobility to at least get in the saddle and do some walking and light posting trot. that's why there's such a thing as Therapeutic Riding I suppose.. (I have done nearly 1999 hours of volunteer work for the PRDA in Langley) Anyways, Bug is super relaxed and settled right in. She couldn't be easier!
Here's a conformation shot, she's not quite straight, I think her front legs are closer to the camera than her hing legs are, but it's close enough!
And her pedigree. Note the Donnerhall on the top and bottom :) that's where the good mind comes from I bet!
