Nautica, showing off his booty gains while receiving a cookie for doing his counter-canter loops last week. Obviously, he's been doing his squats. 🏋🏻‍♂️ We're gearing up for the Solo Flight this May with some exercises in canter-rideability. We've had a saddle fit appointment and we're feeling better than ever.
Cantering into another week! 💫 Nautica struggles with maintaining an inside bend in his canter circles. He doesn't always understand why he has to have inside bend now when he never had to for the first decade of his life. While Nautica can flex his neck into a pretzel if he wants to, the ribcage is a bit less flexible. Our rides consist of working to lift the inside shoulder within our transitions and chip away slowly at the flexibility. It's a slow process for a convert with Nautica's history, but he is getting more flexible and more balanced every day!
#saddlebredsaturday Fun Fact: Want a square halt? Get a "show horse" breed!
While Nautica's actual birthday was yesterday, April 1st, we celebrated today! Nautica got to spend yesterday doing what he wanted to for his birthday (getting a massage and being a complete pasture potato with a day off) and we spent today doing what I wanted to (dumb horse mom birthday things.) Nautica got some carrots as payment for being an extra good boy! Happy 15, buddy. 🥳
It's my best buddy's birthday today! Happy 15 to the world's best big bay horsie! We're going to celebrate once I get out of clinicals for the day. ❤
The weather finally cooperated with us to take photos with Nautica and his ribbons from last weekend. He was fifth out of ten in his TOC class (test Training-1) and third out of six in his Training-3 class on Saturday, and he was first in his T-3 class on Sunday. He also won the Saddlebred highpoint for both shows, earning a neck sash from ASHA as well as another embroidered saddle pad from the Scenic Flight show series!
