I use the Blocker Tie Ring to help her not feel trapped, which I do like, but I still worry. <br /><br />And thank you! I love that you enjoy following along. She is pretty darned cute and has definitely grown up a lot this year! :-)Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-4125609483787911122019-06-04T08:07:10.228-04:002019-06-04T08:07:10.228-04:00Exactly!

It is nice to see the full range of scores, because there are definitely times when you can score an 8 on a lovely movement and then botch everything up for a 4 hahaha. I really don't think most tests are straight 6s haha.Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-4760551074659032652019-06-04T08:04:49.581-04:002019-06-04T08:04:49.581-04:00I know, I'm like all I expect you to do is rel...I know, I'm like all I expect you to do is relax and eat, which is literally your most favorite thing ever hahaha. Oh well. I do think she will get more used to it eventually. Just needs lots of practice.Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-91920261217127100862019-06-03T16:47:46.303-04:002019-06-03T16:47:46.303-04:00This may be the endurance rider in me talking, but...This may be the endurance rider in me talking, but do you think a hi-tie would help ease her trailer anxiety? She'd be restrained, but not hard tied and the freedom to move around might take care of that trapped snorty behavior. Obviously you'd have to practice at home and it would be an investment, but it's a thought that crossed my mind while reading this.<br /><br />She is the CUTEST. I love her little face, and especially with the brow band and fly bonnet. So pretty! Sounds like the tests went well, too! She's getting to be such a grown up little dressage pony <3 I love reading about your journey with her.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-65251290615167972472019-06-03T16:45:36.418-04:002019-06-03T16:45:36.418-04:00yay on you and Ellie.

I don't like unhooking him because then he gets his way but I also fear him pulling back and getting loose. Horses. is it that hard to chill and eat a buffet!!!???!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346020257901575574noreply@blogger.com
