Awareness of the outside world. Dartmouth Sports: Big Green Capture NCEA Single-Discipline National Championship, The national title is the first in program history, 4/19/2025. I have no idea what some of those words mean. It’s been a hot minute since I rode Intercollegiate. Go Big Green! […]

Well, technically a pony.

The Hunter Place
Surprise! Remember the barn I stopped by? [Another Lesson Possibility]
Turns out the dressage person had moved and the barn is now hunter/jumper. With horses to ride! We set up a lesson for the weekend.
Razzy was a doll. Walk. Trot. A bit of canter. Even two-point over some poles. While she was happy to trundle along in a relaxed fashion, the low head carriage gave me crow hop flash backs. I wonder why (sideeye to the home team). Once I convinced her to humor me and raise her head a bit, we got along fine.
Plan to go back. On the weekends for a while so that the Emotional Support Husband can come with.
Lesson delayed by rainstorm. Footing was excellent & Razzy didn’t mind the puddles in the slightest.
Onwards!

Yay!
Overlooked the bit where you said “technically a pony.” Ponies are fun! Even for a tall person.
For many years I rode both an Arab that had the more upright Arabian head carriage, and a small cutting/reining bred QH that has a level head carriage. Fortunately, he’s a 2001 model and is NOT built with the extreme downhill conformation that you’ll find on the QHs bred for those disciplines today. Still, the difference always took a little getting used to.
The lesson sounds great! Can’t wait to hear more.
Yay Razzy!
I will say more as the situation merits. Trying not to overinvest.
