I swear you can do it. I never would have thought I would make it any time soon. But you just gotta push you and your horse and make every stride count and you'll get there!! I hope you like hay ;)
I suppose I'll get there. I have 12 years of PC left if I keep doing it.
I'm only a D-2 now, I'm getting my D-3 rating on wednesday and I believe my C-1 on Sunday. I only got rated for D-2 on Thursday, so I guess I'm doing pretty well. Half of the things that's on the test sheet I didn't get asked. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought, but the upper levels look pretttyyy darn hard. I think it's just the thought of doing it that scares most people. Congrats by the way! :)
I just found your channel. You are a great rider and your critters are beautiful--obviously very happy, well cared for, and eager to please. Congrats on passing! :)
Wow, I can't imagine you NOT passing! You and Tiny make the perfect pair, and you look amazing on the switch rides too! And, yay for being in Pony Club ;). I'm a C3 Dressage (with my HB) from Texas. Although I think I'm quitting next year when I go to college :/.
Wow! this is a bit late but, congrats on getting your B! That is just so cool!
I have my C3 traditional this weekend and then C3 dressage at the end of october. This video and your description definitely got me pumped and ready. You two looked awesome!
Assuming I pass my C3 this weekend, I'm hoping to go for either my traditional or dressage B sometime next year (:
I can't wait to see you guys go for and pass your A! :D
You should be very proud of your skills as a patient and thoughtful trainer! I just watched the Never Give Up video -- which clearly shows how you developed Tiny's muscles and skills to be able to jump and do dressage. Good job!
Lynnda L in Minneapolis who is a dog trainer [competition with dogs is cheaper than horses -- they fit inside the van!]
It's great to see a "non-standard breed" do well. And you will always be able to ride just about anything from the lessons learned riding Tiny. Best of luck to you and your horse!
WOW!! Well done! Getting your B is such a huge accomplishment, and you look great! Actually, I just took my C3... And I passed too! It's so relieving, isn't it? :D
awesome!!! Hey and don't feel so bad about breaking the jump- at my C-3 the girl that switch rode onto my horse crashed him into the jump (poles flying everywhere- i think he even broke the flower box?) but she still passed!!! It's all how you fix it :)
Reesie you look so good! I am honored to ride the Tiny Monster! haha GUYS Shes not kidding when she says he is a hard ride! But he is very fun and he teaches you so much! I think thats one reason Reesie is a strong and amazing rider. :D I'm Glad we got to take our C3 And B together! :D
@SoulSistersKR AWWW Rachel you are the sweetest person ever. You did a fantastic job and I am so glad you were the one who switch rode on him. You did a fantastic job on him. I am honored to ride the fantastic Hennessey who just freaking beasted Championships!
congratulations! you and tiny looked great even though it must have been killer riding in the middle of the day! you guys definitely deserve your B :)
@ponyrider456 haha - I worried, because I flunked the C3 before I finally was able to pass, and it's so expensive to take the darn thing!! Plus I am a perfectionist and it definitely didn't feel perfect the weeks leading up to the rating lol
@matrixmare yeah i totally know what you mean! it is so expensive! i really did not expect to pass today but i think the examiners were really nice or something!!
@ponyrider456 OMG! You went for your C3 this weekend and I didn't know?! Congrats girl!! Even if you didn't like the way it went, obviously they liked the way you rode and handled everything, so be proud!! You definitely look like a C3 to me! :) Can't believe we were at the same place and I was completely unaware.
@matrixmare hahah yeah i didnt mention it to a lot because i wasn't exactly expecting to pass.. at all! no they hated me I'm not quite sure why they passed me! My jumping was HORRIBLE.. worst ever. we broke a jump... I was flying all over the place!! & of course I got the switch onto the like 13hh pony, who was very talented but SO SPEEDY!! ahhh! but you did SO amazing! I watched your switch & XC :) sadly i missed the course!
Oh my gosh!!! You have amazing dressage eq!!! I want to steal it!!!
