Artist's Comments

Because I've not posted anything in a long time, and because I'm very proud of myself.

Yesterday I had my first ever competition at dressage, and I won. This is me on the horse I chose (he's not mine), and his name is Armando and he loves being watched.

During the warm up he was bitchy, slow and rearing a lot and there was no way I could get him to react to me properly, but I kept trying. I kind of knew he was distracted by the other horses, because he just is.

Then as we stepped into the ring, he gave a really loud whinny and went into show-mode. It was AMAZING, it just clicked and off we went.

I got first prize. ;)

Picture was taken by my mother.

Thank you. <3 We do get along, it's just that he likes to test my limits sometimes, and we don't see each other a lot... so yes. Lucky. <3

All Horses and Riders have that problem :) It just makes you both better in learning off of one another! Don't let that get you down!

Hehe, you don't know me very well, I suppose, but with horses - NOTHING ever gets me down. I love 'em too much for that... This guy is actually my favourite despite the rearing. He barely even does it anymore now, cause I know what to do. :D

yikes a rearer.... oh boy I'm scared of those.

Heh - he doesn't do a very good job at it. I've never been particularly impressed by the average horse's antics. ;) I just tell him to quit being silly and then my instructor rofls.
