A few photos from the Huon Pony club pre-season show last weekend. First show ever and a wonderful experience! Big thank you to my mum for coming along to assist and take photos. 💕

(Not sure if I want to ever plait a friesian mane again though)

Our first time trying a show jumping course together was a success.
Heading into the day, I decided that my aims were, 'no falls, no refusals, and no run-outs' and if we got round with that, I would be happy. But Kili took it all in her stride and not only placed in her first 2 classes but also jumped a clear in the 60cm!

It's been nearly 10 years since I've had any jumping instruction, and apart from some schooling over the last few weeks at home, Kili's first introduction to jumping. Usually, she loves it and will try and cut corners when schooling flat to cut over even a pole on the ground, but she had a confidence loss recently and started running out of anything above 40cm. So, to feel her plowing through the course with a spring in her step and a grin on her face was fantastic! Definitely caught the bug now - can't wait to do it again. 😊

Thanks Mum, Keryn and Anya for the photos, and to the Hoofbeats committee for such a fun and encouraging day.

It was so lovely to attend this clinic! Stacey is a mine of knowledge and it was fantastic to listen to all she had to share.

A five month difference. In the first photo, Djaquila was the leanest she'd been in several years, but still overweight.
Now, with increased ridden work, no grains, and minimal rugging, she's finally within striking distance of her ideal weight. 😍

Feels so good to be getting out and about with the special girl, even if she does like to keep me on my toes 😅

This might not be a big deal to some people, but today I took my OWN horse with my OWN car in a borrowed float (thanks Mum! 😘) to my OWN lesson. It's been eight years of wondering if I really should keep going with all this horse stuff, as I balanced 'mum mode' with 2 green horses, no instruction, and being essentially property bound with my riding.
Today was a great step in having something to aim for again. 🧡🌄

Tashkent Djaquila performed 6 very good displays at Agfest this year. Loving watching this mare come into her own.
