Deputy Diva – April 24

This is Diva, my friends mare that I’m working with while shes off camping for the week.

Diva has had some stifle troubles recently, but I think we’ve worked through that :)

Diva is a potential Event prospect. I’m a dressage rider.

HC Hilo – 3’6″ Schooling

This is me and my 20yo TB Hilo.
This is a year old photo. I haven’t been jumping recently as I am focusing on my Dressage again. (I am a Dressage rider by Trade, I just jump for fun every now and again)

Hilo and I have schooled 4ft and Prelim eventing.
He’s trained to about 3rd level dressage.

Go ahead and tear us apart :)

Jisk Like Dad – 2013

Long time no see guys!

Jiskis is coming along great!
We’ve started work in a Double Bridle!

Jisk is a 5 (almost 6) year old Friesian/Hanoverian cross. We competed at 2nd level last year and cleaned up, scoring upwards of 60%, with a high score of 70%.

We’re trying our hands at third level stuff, but we’re not rushing it :)
We’re probably staying at 2nd again this year :)

Anyways… Heres a short video from tonight. Not our best ride. But enjoy :)
I’m really working hard at looking up and hands up and still.. They are a little louder than usual here, we’re just introducing the double and I’m still polishing my technique.

**I am holding the reins “differently” to what many of you use. Im using the Fillis method. **
