As you can tell by the title to this months blog March has definitely not been great weather wise, we have had our first quiet month here in god knows how long. The weather & annual Vet visit meant that i have had to revise my spending for this month. However the weather has put pay to any competing atm anyway our arena is still covered with snow.
Both Galante & Troy are going well i will say a new saddle is needed for Galante but im getting desperate to get out again. Troy has had a course of Cartrophen to help maintain his joints & is feeling fantastic. Such a shame i cant make the most of it atm with this i will say it again dam weather!
I have made the best of it though & took the time to work everyone in hand, it's always a lovely thing to do & I should do it with the boy's more often as they really enjoy it. Troy worked mainly on lateral work & Piaffe in hand, he thought it was most hilarious to add his own version of Spanish walk into the mix. It doesn’t help that I find it very funny also so he now uses it to make me laugh I’m sure.
Galante had a lesson in manners & was introduced to some more of Richard Maxwell's groundwork techniques. Galante is a little hot atm & is quite fun to ride atm, I like them forward so I’m using his extra sparkle to my advantage.
Now on to the exciting bit, We last updated you saying we where finalists for the Pink Equine sponsorship, unfortunately we where unsuccessful.
However by a twist of fate a company that i follow on facebook Equestrian originals has very generously offered a sponsorship deal. I put my application in & we have been shortlisted.
I am very excited about this latest development as the company Equestrian Originals is a small family run business supplying personalised horse equipment, clothing and occasionally leatherwork. It is just the sort of company Carrie Turner Dressage would love to represent & we would like to take the time to thank them for offering this sponsorship deal in such a trying economic time.
Why not take a look at what they offer -

Equestrian Originals Facebook Page

There have been a lot of applications for this sponsorship so we have everything’s crossed March 29th is the day we will find out if we have been successful. I don’t envy them having to decide a victor.
