Baby Halo

 So Baby Halo is up to some stuff. 

You all rememmer Baby Halo as being my brilliant perfickt child. 

Baby Genius

She has been getting all geared up to join the work force evenshully.

So like. She gets a saddul which is very very wide for her mighty baby back which is even broader than is my Roxie back.

This mantis is clearly lost in some vast forrein land.

But check this, we can both wears this saddel:

So i donot know whether to be proud of this or to find this to be awkward,

Whatever, at least she will not ever be able to steal my bridles and other Roxie head gears.

That's a big ol' negatory on ever fittin into my haltur.

So she is getting rided a little tiny bit, by human as well as by bug, but not much because she is a precious babbo and we all know the value of her. 

Hrmmm

 So like. I forgets to post heer for a while.

That is OK tho because not much is heppening.

I is on lighter duty now. Mom threttens to have us do some wesstern dressage but then the world got sick and there was no horse shows this year.

Western saddle selfies instead.

So I does traels instead. And ponying babies.

So much ponying of babies

Oh yeah, that is a thing I shuld mention. Fang left heer to go be a trail horse with first an older lady and then later to a little girl. She was not real big on the jomping thing so every one is happy with this new sitch.

So there is lots of horses in and out of heer this year.

I has a boyfrend for the summer.

<3 <3 QUILL my mans <3 <3

He goes back home for the winter tho which is prefect because its terble when a dude overstays his welcome. 

There is also some babies.  

Heer is a yearling

Heer is a two year ling

Both of these babies is slender and well bred. 

I haetes them. They annoy me at best and thretten my Roxie Greatness at worst.

Anyway, I guess that is all for now. I will dig thru the picsures of 2020 and post some other things maybe.

How to brake in a new bridel

So the best way to brake in a new bridel is not anything like you mayhaps have read.

You do not need to oils it, or works it around in your hands, or do anything special.

You put it on and go riding.

Ideally you go on a big swety trail ride and that does the trick.

But if your bridel arrives in November and it is cold and there is no swetting really. You can just put it on and wear it around.

Like here for example. I takes it on the trail and finds a bunch of deer insides.

Interesting, mildly.

I suspose you could also go out and get it rained on. But whatever.

Roxie bridel

So. You all remmemer voting on a Roxie bridle.

It has finally arrived.

Its name is Otto

I am pleased to report that the final design was not even a choice in the voting, so ha ha.

But anyway it is lovvly on me.

So now when i does trail stuff i is the fanciest horse in the forest. As it should be.

Trael secrets

So I has lerned a secret of being on the trael.

I has lerned that if the trail is good and clear, Mommish will make me do trotting. or sometimes cannering.

I hate this.

So given a choice. I crashes thru the woods insted.

Like here is a example.

There is a perfectly good trael like 20 feets to my left. But I do not want! ha ha ha

Let us roller skate over sticks in sted.

doing super hard training part 3

So after all this training. Mom puts all my Roxie stuff in the trailer and we goes off to show. This show is a long ways away, in some trees. We has been to this place before and I loves it.

i goes to my stall and gets all settled. Mom comes after a little bit an we gets our dressahj tacks on and I go do a test. We are the last ride of the day basicly.

Heer is me greeting a adoring fan

They do scores but Mom is all "SUPERSTISH I WILL NOT LOOK" so i do not know wat is the score but MOm is happy with my performance.

I gets leg rapped and covered in a sheet and gets to go to sleep.

day 2: We goes and does cross country!

I is a galloping fool and i jumps all the things. There is a time where we has to go thru water ans there is a HOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE on the other side of the water in a hooman corral made of flaggy string and they is VERY SCAREY! I runs sideways when we has to go by them! They may not touch my Roxie Greatness!

HIGH ALURT

But I jomps all the thinsg and i is amazing. Mom says so.

There is a big gulley on this course that you go down into and up outta, two times, and Mom says i should not canter down this because it is steep. So we trots up out of it the steep way the first time, and then trots back down the steep side on the way back. So we has some time faults but this is OK because I is safe and sound.

Day 3: we does stadium jomping! This is not in a stadium tho. Just an areena.

I is perfect but i is kinda tired despite all the super hard training. Mom has a hard time making me be forward.

But that is ok, i has no stops and no refoosals and I is great. Duh like always.

Oh this is important. Mom says if i jumps good that I never has to go for a big fast gallop EVER AGAIN. And i is like . . . "YES I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE"

So that is why i tries so hard.

But anyways so i is amazing!

And then we gets a super big ribbon and we gets to be in a victory gallop!

I sees this. Gimme it.

Thas right.

Mom is SO HAPPIE and she says i never have to gallop ever again!!

And i gets a hole bag o carrots and some graims and a bunch of cookies. Well i guess i got those all weekend.

And then i gets to go home! Hooray Roxie!

Doing super hard training part 2

So as promised. I will continue to discuss super hard training.

Here is the steps.

0) I goes on a diet. I hate this.

This country has un attainable standurds for beauty

1) a vet lady comes and stabs some junk into my Roxie neck and i hate this. But. It makes my legs crackle less. so that is good.

2) we gets a big ol set of front shoes on so i may do more training in places where there may be a rocks or such.

My farrier man is the best

3) We signs up for dressahzj lessons with a real good program. And we goes to them weekly. An we also works on dressahzj at home. I do lots of cannering with my sholder in, or my buttocksie in, or sometimes i switches them side to side. It is so hard! I want to give up an be heavy but Mom will nut allow. :( As time goes tho. This gets more easier.

It is my hope to som day be as fancy as this fancy Potato

4) we gets to go jomp cross contry! I love this. It is my favorite. And i is amazing, i jumps all the stuff even when it is weerd looking or painted bloo or maybe shaped like a mushroom. And i jomps ditches and down banks and up different banks and over skinnies and thru watters and between trees. I is a glorious cross contry thunder horse.

5) We does galluping. This is the hardest part. We goes to a trail that has long flat stretches and we starts out by trotting. we trots for a while. Each time we goes and does trotting, is lasts a little bit longer. We gets up to where i can trot for like TWELVE MINITS. That is forever, by the way. So i does that until i is trotting for over a mile at a time. Then mom changes it up a little and we starts doing some short cannering. Cannering is SO HARD YOU GUYS it is like lifting weights as fast as you can. So some days we canner politely for a few minits at a time. Other days we goes and does some warm up trotting and cannering and then mom makes me RUN AS FAST AS I CAN HO CRAP LETS GO SO HARD I GONNA DIE. These bursts are not as long but they feel like forever because I cannut breathe fast enough. But then i gets to walk and everything is cool til we does it again.

Training!

6) evenshually when i is reel fit. we goes and starts trotting the hill across the road from my horse house. it is long and gradual but this is hard work! It makes my bottom real strong tho.

So anyways this is my Roxie fitniss regimen. Stay tuned for the show report!
