I think that it shows his potential for dressage. When I look at this I see a horse that's naturally uphill and has a natural self carriage. When I observe his gaits from the ground they look to be comfortable. His temperament is bold without being brash, lovable and he has a level of pride that won't allow him to suffer fools.
All I need to do is not ruin it.
I know that we'll have good moments, bad moments, brilliant moments and brilliantly awful moments. I am not a seasoned dressage trainer who's competed on numerous horses at a national level. I am a middle aged woman with her 3rd horse.
And do you know what? That's okay. I'll seek out help to back him and regular instruction. I won't be perfect all the time but I will always try to be perfect.
And I think that it will be fine.
It will be fine... and fun. :D
ReplyDeleteI'd be excited about that photo too!
That description of yourself sounds familiar. What a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteHe is lovely! I have a 3 yr old too. It's fun to watch them grow and change and wonder if they'll become the horse you want. It is definitely a bit of a gamble. But a good feeling to know you were there to help shape them!
ReplyDelete"All I need to do is not ruin it." My sentiments exactly!! I'm hoping I don't ruin Chrome. I had so hoped to have help from my trainer by now, but I just can't afford it right now with the move and building the house. Keeping my fingers crossed our old house sells soon so things will get easier.
