After Margaret and I had such a fun time at the fall hunter pace, we opted to go again this spring! This time, while I rode Rejoice again, Margaret rode her horse Jester and had a friend ride Ladyhawke. All Kennebec Morgans!! Jester and Rejoice have the same dam and Jester and Lady share the same sire. Unfortunately instead of a lovely late spring day, we had one of the first intensely hot and humid days of the year. It was definitely a bummer, but the ride was mostly in the shade of the woods and we had a great time! most of the fences were 3' coops but we found a small log and this hay to jump haha Until we didn't. 😑 We brought along a third friend who rode Margaret's older mare, Ladyhawke. She's a good rider but hasn't known Ladyhawke for very long and didn't realize how much of a cranky boss mare she could be at times. She kicked Jester right in the front leg just about halfway through the ride, and while the cut itself ended up not being a big deal in the
Day #5 - My horse's talents and natural abilities
Reva
I would say that Reva's natural talent so far is her extended trot. She is a trotter, which helps! LOL! But she extends so easily (and sometimes when I am not asking...such as during a victory pass! LOL!)
Dreamy
You know, it is funny to think about after all her showing success, but Dreamy has to work pretty hard at dressage and jumping. She is not naturally talented under saddle, but her WORK ETHIC comes very easily. She is a worker bee and wants to please.
Sparky
My little Morgan was a very versatile and safe horse in her day. I did all sorts of things with her, but I would have to say she was the most talented as a driving horse. We competed up to Preliminary in CDEs and driven dressage and open in pleasure driving shows. She went on the bit easily and perked right up in harness. I miss driving her.
