Amazing day yesterday at SA Rossfechten with Katherine Salazy Evans.
Crystanby Aqarian getting better about going out in mixed company all the time. ( 5 horses in arena and 2 were mares). Last clinic we did it was 2 days and it took him the whole first day to settle and get some calmer work the next day. This one only one day and under saddle I really could not fault him- except standing still is still a challenge. He still expends far to much energy in between riding when in the yard, and still does not like it when he can’t see me but early days.
For context Aqarian only began his ridden career just short of turning 11. He is 13 this year. It has not been consistent with some major bumps in the road that took a while to find the source. That is all sorted now and his confidence is coming back. And Mine. Before that he was a serving stallion - that was his job and now I am asking him to turn that off.
I think he is absolutely amazing.
We started with a refresher on foot sword lesson then we did the novice mounted sword. My first time riding with the fencing mask. I even got one sweet spot hit to Katherine’s face!
Then skill at arms in the afternoon. I have trained him on working equitation obstacles but I have never done skill at arms. LOVED IT.

Crystanby News: I have decided to wind down my breeding program. I have one home bred foal due this September and I probably will not breed any more for myself. ( may depend on it is a filly or a c**t, but cross that bridge when I get to it.)
Crystanby Aqarian will not be standing this season, at the very least, most likely more, he will be campaigned as an entire under saddle, which was always my goal. It was put on hold for more than 10years with my broken body which is why I threw myself into breeding. But now we are both on track and I want him focussed.He has to magnificent sons that will continue his legacy and 3 daughters that hopefully will breed on as well.
His last years son, Chakotay, will be retained as my next riding horse.
Island Honour will restart her ridden life with me. ( she has been green started).
After Manna Wood Florin has had her foal and it is weaned she most likely will go on the pill and live with Aqarian.
Thank you to all that supported Aqarian and my breeding program. I am very proud or what I achieved.
