Donoso's journey

Av L Viktoria M Sandberg - 2 februari 2011 21:18

When Start and I got up the hill today we looked down and saw we had company by cows, spanish cows have big horns and are bay coloured...or?.. were they bulls?   Decided I did not want to find out which so we went down the hill again, cows can be crazy enough. Later Donoso tripped in indoor, we almost went to the floor but he picked up those legs in no time. Good to have legprotection. He was not happy about this tripping so after he did the best schools ever. Then some super piaffe/passage, he transmits a l o v e l y feeling, is almost here now, just waiting for it to ripen, letting him paint his own picture. The personality of this horse owerwhelms me, without being all emotional, sentimental. He just wants to impress, do a great job and a extended trot is a reward for this guy. I wish everyone could have a horse of this quality, beauty and personality!  

But this was not how he felt when I rode him the first time, I could not even stop him, there were no breaks (for me, of course his rider did all brilliant). I could not muster up one single flying change, nor did he listen to my legaid at all so no schools either. Hello? But I had to think about it alittle, having studied the rider (strong male rider) I decided to try and feel what is actually the horse and what is trainer-made, everyone rides in their own way. He was so tuned into his rider I just knew he was going tune in to me also. Now I have been riding a period on a snaffle, now he is equal in sides, through in back so it takes some time (bought him December 2008). The changes were done real tight and bullfighting wise - throw to the side so the most tricky is to get them fluid and not late behind. Most importantly it has been a pleasant journey for us both, all the way, and now I am really riding my horse!

So the rain has been pouring down and we feel refreshed and rugs are on. I love the seasons even though the summer is my favourite, but the darker colder days are also lovely as you can be cosy with candles and the fireplace.  Hidalgo has passed 5*...
