Things are getting kinda boring around here. Like here's video from like 2 weeks ago when I still jumped.
Yea riveting, I know. You can tell she really loves this baby jump stuff. Luckily WS still puts her over the big stuff (like 3' stuff I'm gonna need awhile to get up to).
Think I'm pretty much ready to hang up the spurs til post baby.
This means I need to think of some ground work goals to keep me from just sitting around, losing muscle tone.
Ideas for things to work on are welcomed ;) I figured ground tying, and working on some of the spooky things (like flags and balls etc) would be fun (although maybe not brilliant as I get less-balanced).

Best part of the week: OB told me I could gain more weight! Heck yes!

Haha hard to picture being told to gain weight!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! I told him I'm waiting to gain all the weight that last trimester when it's rainy and all I wanna do is eat.
DeleteHey even if the jumps were small you guys still looked great, I even spotted some awesome flying changes! Might be fun to do some at liberty stuff in the round pen, teach her to follow you around (and halt, trot, turn, backup etc.) with no halter and such.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, the backup would be really nice, she tends to cling to me, backup would be nice to install.
DeleteI like reheadlins' idea, liberty stuff and ground manners never hurt anyone!
ReplyDeleteI love how smooth and steady you guys are. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteLol that's a lot of leg and good camera angles.
DeleteI love in-hand work for getting a better sense of the horse's body. There are a lot of good resources out there, but when the resources get dry, I love to look at Jean Luc Cornille's videos for something to aspire towards.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll google the videos, always looking for new stuff to learn.
Deleteglad you have been able to still ride. Does she tolerate your son bring lead around on her? Might be fun!
ReplyDeleteI think after a trainer ride she could hack hubby but not sure my son would hold on enough for me to trust her yet. My trainer has a steady Eddie I need to get him on soon.
DeleteHaha Holly is sweet but still sassy and Liam is well a 2 year old, not sure that would be a good combo esp when you are prego :)
DeleteLol thats why I was saying I could put Andy on her but not Liam. Andy can hold on lol, but I don't think he'd ride anyone but Buster.
Deletewahhh sad that you are hanging up your spurs!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Bit also not cause I'm tired and fat feeling lol. I'll still be around as a groupie/ photographer/jump setter.
DeleteI don't think trainer will let you take to long to get back at it... Its been 2 months since my csection and look what she is making me do now!! lol
ReplyDeleteMy advice he to be careful when doing your ground work bc well you have precious cargo AND a mare who has an opinion ;)
So true, she's female for sure. And yes I'm already planning on the March show since I'm sure I'll be back at it fast watching you lol.
