This week finally feels like I'm getting somewhere horse wise, and it's the best feeling. This past weekend I went down with my close friend and her mom to Dover Saddlery, in Plaistow NH. It was worth the 5 hour drive. They had such a great sale. I only brought 60 dollars but still got stuff that would've been alone 60 bucks. So we all left feeling accomplished.
In my last blog I was complaining about how long winter was seeming to drag on this year. But within this past week we've had 60 degree weather which has led to melt 2 FEET OF SNOW! So now there's only a couple inches here and there. I can see all my fields, my training ring, and my grass arena is still having some difficulty melting but... it's melting! Also in my last blog I said I was all set with tack. I'm not... Ella is VERY difficult to fit for a saddle. I got a wide Lancer(Collegiate) All Purpose and it turns out that the back panels were too shallow and it was pinching right near her scar. (She has a huge scar running from the middle of her back around and down to her udder from when she was a baby.) So now I'm in panic mode trying to sell it and find something that fits. I just tried a Wintec 2000 AP on and that didn't even fit her. Oh ponies.
Count down to first 2-Phase of the season... 26 days.
