Funny how when you're riding cross country you feel like a badass pro going mach-9. The rush of the wind, the squeak of the safety vests.
Then you watch the video and it's more like a hunter round. Doing-de-doing-de-doing. Haha.

XC Schooling (with video!!)
Last weekend we went up to the beautiful Shepherd Ranch in Santa Ynez for our first cross country schooling at a horse trials facility (up to this point we've only schooled at the local, smaller courses).
Hubby very kindly came along and videod our adventures.

That is SO true. I did a gymkhana and I felt like we looked bad ass and were going fast, and looking at the video I was definitely surprised by how not fast we looked haha
ReplyDeleteWow!! You guys have come so far together. I LOVE watching you canter up to those fences on a loose rein and trusting him to do his job. AWESOME progress. :D
