SNHSA Mini Medal Finals

November 8, 2012 By 3 Comments

The finals for my local circuit were actually a month ago, but I’ve been holding off on getting pictures :P I qualified for the mini medal finals early in the year, so these are from the finals! I ended up reserve champion. I was actually first going into the second round, but having so much time to wait made me get really anxious, so our second round wasn’t as smooth as it could have been. The horse I’m on is Picture Perfect(aka Beau). He’s one of my trainer’s school horses. He’s a 13 yo Appendix Quarter Horse. He’s nothing fancy, but he always keeps going to the jumps and gets his changes :)

I know the angle/timing of the picture isn’t the best, but the photographer for the show wasn’t very good :( I look like I’m looking for a turn or something…which is strange, considering this was the last fence on course, and the only way to go was straight. I have no clue what I was doing.

Mini Medal

August 27, 2012 By 2 Comments

I found this image floating around in the depths of my computer! According to the properties, it from a show about two months ago. I believe this was our 2’6 Mini Medal round. My leg seems to have slipped back quite a bit, but please judge me and my mare :)

Faramir and Colbie, please judge!

Hello! This video is from a local schooling show at my barn this weekend. I know the jumps look tiny . Recently me and my mare have actually been schooling 3′-3’3, but I took a pretty bad fall(a cracked helmet and a bad concussion was the result) a couple weeks ago that didn’t do anything good for my confidence. So we’re starting back up small. I’d really appreciate it if I got an eq critique, even though this is the jumpers, since I did qualify for our local Mini Medal finals at the beginning of the year, and I’d like to do really well at them :)

So I need a new helmet now.

I took a bad tumble of my mare yesterday. Other than a concussion, and some bruises, I’m fine. My helmet, not so much. There was a large imprint in the dirt from my head, and apparently you could hear the impact from the other end of our very large outdoor arena. So, new helmet time!

Price isn’t a huge issue, and I’d like some suggestions for a new helmet, one I can school and show in. The one I had was a CO JR8, and the only thing I didn’t really like about it was how hot it got on my head.
