MGAA is Going to Ireland – 2014

February 12, 2014

Yep, the tickets are booked; in April, an MGAA team is going to compete in Ireland.

Congratulations to Riders: Abby, Aidan, Eliza, Emma, Genevieve and Jill

Chaperone: Lauren, Trainer: Krista (me)

The five younger riders will be on a team together and Genevieve will be guest riding on another team.

This is an amazing opportunity for our organization and our riders, and I can’t wait to share this experience with them.

I’ll be sure to blog throughout the trip so everyone can follow the adventure.

I love color

February 11, 2014

It is probably apparent from my blog that I love color. Poe is fully decked out in yellow and Simon is dressed in blue. This is very common with mounted games riders.

I am a dressage riders nightmare.

I saw this photo advertising composite stirrups with colored pads on Adam’s Supply the other day. I love the photo. I already have a yellow pair of them
on Poe’s saddle. I wonder how the pink would go with Simon and all
His blue? Clearly this photo is an excellent ad!

Shoe removal

February 10, 2014

While I was away for three weeks over the summer, Simon removed all four of his shoes. I found one of them the other day.

(Yep, still nothing exciting to blog about. I like this photo though).

Poe Conditioning.

February 8, 2014

The footing is still crap but it’s gotten better and is ok for some trot-hill-conditioning. So that’s what Poe and I did last night. He is always such a pleasure to ride and makes me smile. I love this pony.

I have been playing music on my iPhone when I ride lately. I have a nice jam-grass/bluegrass playlist for Simon. Poe has more attitude, like heavy metal, but I just can’t do that. So I decided on a radio dance type of play list. I titled it “radio cheese”. He likes it too. Not surprisingly Simon loves the radio pop.

After I hit shuffle and stuck it in my pocket, we got our trot work on.

Blanket Repairs

February 7, 2014

Last weekend it warmed up enough for me too pull the blankets off the ponies. I washed them and then stitched up the rips, replaced some straps and added a few patches.

Good as new.

I also scored a practically new, high neck Rhino, from a lovely person on Facebook.

Nothing exciting going on right now. Crap footing, ice and snow intermittently, the trails are too crappy to ride on, and so you get a lame post about blanket repairs. I wasn’t even good enough to take photos of the repair work. Lame.
