Nicole from Zen and the Art of Baby Horse Management wants to know about our every day fails. I LOVE this idea, and have seriously enjoyed reading everyone's posts!! This is exactly the type of humor I need as a rider to counteract the intense and demanding nature of certain parts of this sport.
I had wanted to collect fresh material for this hop... but alas it was not to be. So instead I hit the archives HARD haha. So please to enjoy this collage of my many spectacular moments of fail with Isabel :)
Hahaha! The many sides of Izzy -- she is certainly full of personality! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure! Tho in all fairness more than a few of these fails were totally my fault haha
Deletethese are great! fail hard or go home :P
ReplyDeleteHahaha exactly!
DeleteHa, love it! The one of her peaking out around the tree is adorable, I wouldn't put that in the fail category at all. =-)
ReplyDeleteLol it was definitely super cute and I have a whole series of photos from that too. It's a "fail" tho bc she saw me pull out the trailer and tried to hide so I couldn't take her anywhere haha
Deletethis is such a fun, lighthearted hop! I'll have to try and do it too. I think my favorites of you guys are the carousel horse jump moments and whatever was happening in that second photo down on the left ;-) sliding stop? slipping? rapid sitting down? quicksand?!
ReplyDeleteI love the carousel horse moments too!! They feel so ridiculous to ride haha. And that lower left corner pic is us taking off down a bank. Izzy is fine but my position is quite suspect lol
DeleteShe has a lot of personality. Reminds me a bit of Chester, who was quirky, full of personality, and a bit hot-tempered. Horses like that can be fun though(at least I think so). Looking at these pictures and comparing them with recent ones of you, I can see that you have made progress.
ReplyDeleteShe DOES have a lot of personality - you're very right about that! And it does make it interesting haha. And actually my trainer and I were just talking about how much we have changed in the last year. It's pretty crazy!
DeleteI love that one water fail when she is skittering sideways! You can really see her personality in all these pictures, so sassy.
ReplyDeletelol the sideways skitter is her patented move!! maybe that's how i should try to practice lateral work - just add water! haha
DeleteThese are awesome!!!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks
DeleteOh my gosh she is such a little sassdragon, I'm LOVING these!!!
ReplyDeleteshe certainly has no problem expressing herself!
DeleteEMMA I LOVE YOU hahaha omg these are FANTASTIC!! You are hilarious and I love that you can laugh at yourself! Izzy is such a sassmonster!
ReplyDeletehaha i'm so glad you enjoyed these - i definitely had a lot of fun browsing through all the old photos - and there are SO MANY lol
Deletelolz - I love these!! Izzy is just too cute
ReplyDeletehaha she certainly thinks so too !!
DeleteHahhahaha love them!
ReplyDeletelol meeee toooo!!
DeleteHA!These are honestly awesome. Something about a redheaded mare might help a bit, but I love that you can laugh about it and learn as well :)
ReplyDeletelol it is occasionally like trial by fire - but what's not to love, right?
