PEOTW – The Double Arrow

Flat rides are not typically the most exciting rides for equestrians. Plodding around the arena, schooling a horse, walk/trot/canter, yada yada. A fun way to mix it up is to add in ground poles - so I decided to start this "Pole Exercise of the Week" to help #FreshenUpOurFlatRides. I'll add a new exercise every week and explain all the ways to ride it. Let's get started!

Everyone meet Wren! She is owned by @mya_roston and is going to be part of my lesson program for the next six or so months. Some of my girls need a step-up horse to learn on and this mare is perfect for the job!

First ride on property and she was perfect. We popped over this fence at the end just for fun and she flew over it effortlessly. Can’t wait to watch my girls learn from her!

The two day clinic includes three lessons (dressage, stadium, and XC), plus two non-riding lessons with the head groom, @jenkinseventing.

I haven’t done any sort of “personal training” for myself in a long time because of Piper’s injury, so I am ecstatic to finally have a horse I can take and start working with again at this level. ✨

This poor guy is battling some nasty ulcers. I treated him when he came off the track, but  all the signs have come back that I need to do another round. I also upped his dose of @vitalizeeq Alimend while I wait for the ulcer meds to kick in and I can already tell a difference in his rib coverage and girthiness in the crossties 🙌🏼

We’re entering in a couple walk/trot classes at a local hunter show just for fun and to get him out and about. A few of my kiddos are coming, too — one of them is even riding Piper! Should be a fun weekend 🤗
