very cool!! and good job!! What was your score? My only tip would be to send you horse more forward and keep him moving uphill. He is a little low, but he is relaxed and happy which is very important! Another thing that i noticed is that you hold your reins close to your belly at times. Your hands should be approximately 1 fist above the withers. You can work with a (or your own) trainer to help with what i said. Keep up the hard work!!
I am now working with an excellent trainer and schooling First Level (Amigo is digging the lengthenings!). At this time, I was riding with my reins too long, which is why my hands were by my belly. I appreciate your feedback. This past year I have learned a lot with this trainer and hopefully will post a new video that reflects our progress soon!
Amigo is only 14.3 hh but I am only 5 feet tall so he looks big! People always think he's bigger than he is. Thanks for watching. I have another video of our first dressage show which is pretty funny!
Check out my latest videos from our CCI*** open show in Nov. 08.

Im a bit jealous.
Why oh why can't my barrel horses be this calm? lol
Stormhorse23 3 years ago
I have a friend with barrel horses-super calm on the trail but you get them near an arena and the crack kicks in! I feel for you!
