Fall is my favorite season for riding -- esp for hacking out! And I have approximately 8,000 random pictures taking up precious storage space on my phone so... brace yo'self for a whole bunch of scenic vistas awash in golden dusk! picturesque <3 Tho, to be honest, there are only so many different ways to talk about walking a horse around a hayfield LOL.  cruisin the "low" side of the hills -- there's a pic on the "high" side from a later ride below We walked, it was pleasant, Doozy is the best. Yada yada yada.  still haven't made it around the entire hay field You get the picture. Literally, lots of pictures haha..... hacking home during golden hour! So instead, I'd rather write about a recent evening with our friend Charles. Tho ya know. I guess there are only so many ways to write about doing ground work with a retired neurotic thoroughbred too.  a new day -- frosty morning waiting for the farrier! So. Eh. Pick your post poison: a wordless Wednesday post of pretty pictures... Or a slightly wordier post about trying to help Charlie chill the F out.  "that friggin cat is right behind me, isn't it" -- skeptical dooz Anyway. The poor dude was probably pretty neglected after my weekend of running around before, during, and immediately after the Maryland 5*. I'd been to his farm plenty (it was the best most central location for staging supplies etc from various members of the party), but with limited attention for him.  pictured: friggin cat lol So I made it my business to stop by for some purposeful grooming the other night. And... Ugh. I'm glad I did, bc the horse was a certified pill. we do love our barn kitties tho! It was already dark when I arrived, and they're still on nighttime turnout. Not sure if this makes a difference for him -- maybe there are a lot of active animals in the surrounding woods this time of year? Maybe having limited sight out of the barn is triggering? barn cat snoopervising while we wait for the vet for fall shots I dunno. Regardless, I'd planned to just groom and love on him for a little bit.... But after observing him dancing around like a fool, bumping into the walls, whinnying piteously, and pooping prodigiously...  artful grazing? Well. I concluded that maybe this was the exact circumstance in which reinforcing our ground work practice would be beneficial.  and another sunset hack!! this is the "high" side of the hills And omg, it totally was! missed the most spectacular light unfortunately, but the tree color is still pretty! We've had quite a few practice sessions already since I last wrote about it. The horse remembers all the exercises but I haven't shied away from correcting any pushiness in him. And in particular, I've really focused on reinforcing boundaries about my space vs his space. Not perfectly, obvi, but in a way that he understands and is clear about.  fall is 100% my favorite season for hacking So it worked out that on this particular night, when he was really quite stressed and tense and basically beside himself (for reasons that are way beyond my understanding), he was still able to answer each little question I asked of him.  anyway. sucralfate. do yo' thing! And my only goal was to see if I could get him to relax a little bit. So I basically just praised the shit out of him for being so clever in getting everything so correct. And was very slow and deliberate and soft in my own positioning. This night was not a night of "boundaries" - but rather a session to reinforce, "yes, friend, you know this and are good at this and are the best boy." the legend himself. looking... needy. sigh, charlie <3 And whadya know, after a little TOH / TOF practice, a little leading forward and backing up, a little sending and bringing back... all with lots of pets and praise... he lowered his head, softened his eyes, and yawned and licked and chewed and just.... chilled.  Good boy, Charlie. That's all we want. Idk what his problem is, exactly, but we're a few days into the sucralfate treatment now so maybe that'll make a difference. Maybe swapping turnout from nights to days might help too? Idk. I'll keep ya posted tho! And in the meantime, it's nice to know that this silly little ground work we're doing can at least help channel him when he's particularly pitiful!

Y'all already know I'm a glutton for riding media, esp from horse shows! So in addition to everything I posted on Monday, there are also helmet cam videos from our jumping phases at Loch Moy :) not a bad POV in my opinion lol! Maybe it's just me, but I kinda like seeing the ride from both perspectives -- from the traditional ringside view, but also from the first person perspective.  While the helmet cam can smooth over little mistakes like funky distances and obvi doesn't show any rider position flaws etc, it does give more insight into some of the grittier ride details. Like line of travel, straightness, the relative forward momentum and flow from jump to jump...  Sometimes I can see things in these videos that I didn't notice in real time, but that maybe are kinda important or indicating underlying problems etc. Like that time with Charlie at Full Moon where he wasn't actually reading the string-line fencing around the sj ring that I treated as if it were an actual wall... So without even realizing it, I had to yank him around every corner at the last minute, completely disrupting our rhythm. And then, whoops!, I fell off. It wasn't until I watched that video that it was more clear what had happened, ya know? So anyway. Yea I like studying the videos LOL! Tho again, Doozy was so perfect this last weekend, not much to pick apart here <3 link to video And ya know. Sometimes helmet cam videos are just more fun. Cross country is always better to relive from the first person perspective IMO!  link to video I'm literally still kicking myself for forgetting the camera at home when we went to Jenny Camp earlier this summer haha.... But it's all good, this trip more than makes up for it!  It wasn't a long course -- only 9 fences over probably only like 700m if I had to guess... But it was perfect <3  Anyway. Happy hump day everybody! We're shifting gears around here to dive into all things Maryland 5*, starting with the Young Event Horse Championships tomorrow. Stay tuned for more soon!
