Type, Temperament, Trainability

August 2010

Dressage and Endurance

 

Our latest achievements have been at Mt Crawfor Dressage Club where Kaitelyn, Amber and recently myself have had a go at Prep tests.

Amir has competed twice so far with scores over 60%!

Sheridan Park Saamir has been recently started under saddle by Bronya Kennedy.  Since then we have won a prep test and completed a 22km challenging intro ride!

He will now be trained for a few shows by Christine Kowald.  He has a lovely temperament, his canter is just superb and not too much has worried him, apart from Huckles spooking at Roos, and Riders coming up behind us!  His heart rates were superb at pre ride 39 and post ride 36.  He was measured at 14.3hh recently too.

Amir also loved being out on the trails with Christine, relishing the challenge of the hills of hell and enjoying the company of others.  He is so unreactive out and about, being the best behaved of the group!  He took the whole process in without a call out or any stalliony behaviour, apart from when he was asked to trot out, then he started showing!!  lol

His recoveries were fantastic too, 40, 40.  He is now out on a break until late september, much to his displeasure!

Amber and Kaitelyn have done well with thier first prep tests, excellent scores and comments!

Despite the extreme heat we had a very successful show with lots of ribbons and prizes!

The horses were very well behaved and the girls had a ball!

Thanks to Chelle and Peta for helping out!

Once again in extreme heat, waiting around for hours as well, this was the first show for these 2 Abraxas Amir youngsters.

With only 3 weeks training they coped very well with a lot of firsts!  First time on the float, first time anywhere off the farm, first time shown, First time around so many horses and people!

They were BRILLIANT!

Very happy to wait around for their class, happy to be the only one in thier class, no calling out for each other, no messing around getting upset about anything.

They went in, worked out, stood up and let the judge tie the ribbon around them as well!

So very proud of the homebred horses and also how my girls showed them!  Even though there werent many entries it was valuable experience for both the girls and the horses.

Then they loaded up again for their 2nd time very well and off home again!

Thanks to Chelle for all your help Sunday!!  xx

'That one!'

Falame and Amber winning 2nd in the mares class!

 


Kaitelyn and I did our first 20km trainer ride at Meldana on the 15th march.  I was riding Falame and Kaitelyn on Simeon Seon (Huckles).

It took us 3hrs and 22 mins to complete.  It was quite challenging with big hills and creek crossings but was so much fun.

Both had excellent recoveries, much better than ourselves!!

We hope to be doing many more this season.
