Aloha, Sorry for the lack of Mac videos!
Ive been very busy, lots of school work etc, but I will try my best to do more regular videos next time!!
I've now had Mac for almost 4 months, which has gone ridiculously fast!
Not everythings been great, to be honest, we have had huge ups and downs.
There have been more rides Ive felt like giving up, then overjoyed.
But that all part of the process of improving, right?
There has been a dramatic improvement in both of us, Im a much calmer rider now, and his paces are becoming a lot more developed, particularly his walk and canter.
His jump has improved no end, Ill have to show you a video of my first time jumping him, till now, as although a lot of you reading this will think, 'what? his jump hasn't improved that much?' well once you see it before, then you'll notice! I didn't even notice myself until about a week ago. I thought 'ive tryed so hard with Mac but I swear nothings improved?' Until I now look back on that footage, and think there definatly has.
Its safe to say, Mac definatly isn't the easiest ride, and he has probably been an even bigger challenge than Rhino for me. He is very very strong, and although he has got the potential to do 2'9 courses, successful dressage etc, he cant do that yet with the strength he has! Were trying a few bits out in the next month or so, to see what hes best in, and fingers crossed, I'll then have full control, permanently!
Took him for his first sj outing at an indoor arena, and he was the best he has ever been at a show for me control wise!
I was so happy that he was really listening to me, and concentrating, rather than getting cocky and thinking he knew best to show off to the other horses!
Unfortunatly we had 2 poles down, but I was more pleased that, than the shows we had got clears in, but with no control.
So going to hopefully hire out some indoor arenas soon, and really get somewhere!
Going to Royal Leisure again on the 12th of February, and hopefully another outing just before.
Will try and keep you updated as much as possible with videos, but I can't promise a lot!
Thanks for readinggg!
