I texted my farrier which means I’m gonna have to clean up the ragamuffins I call my horses so I’m not embarrassed at how gross and dirty they are #eqsky 🐎🦋

Mare has managed to scratch her cornea for the second time this year. Brought her in to clip and she stuffed her face into the haynet without closing her eyes. Eye medicine 4-6 times/day. Love Horses. #eqsky

My primary research at the moment is how [Fiore's](wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fiore) mounted plays actually work. Then, to understand what I was learning I had to create a [weapons flow](youtu.be/fydCQDM72Ok) to teach me to move smoothly between the positions while riding well.

Second driving lesson today. Bonnie found this very stressful and we had to stop and comfort her, but by the end we were making turns for a serpentine.

View of a backlit mossy forest floor from atop a bay mare. She is wearing a nose net and probably eyeliner because she is a sensitive diva. The evergreen treetrunks are thinly distributed and casting long shadows.

My fancy man!
(I was so busy taking this photo, I forgot to do up his girth properly and promptly slid right off while mounting 😆 This good boy just stood still at the block and watched me literally ROFL 🤣)

Bonnie seems confused by long lines. Years of teaching her that the best place to walk is at my shoulder and now I'm dropping back behind her. You can kind of see the "Don't make up new rules" look.... #eqsky #mysca #scaEquestrian

Long lines on Bonnie for the first time today - neither of us have ever tried anything like this. Strange to try to give directions without leg aids. But then the light bulb went off - assuming we drive forward, the outside rein blocks and shapes the energy. #mysca #scaequestrian #eqsky

I'm just hearing that Hilltop Farm is closing! 😯😮🤯
This is a HUGE hole in horse breeding for Dressage sport horses in the US.

Today's lesson - picking up the canter over a pole. After multiple failed tries, it worked. Coach dons serious coach face, asks, "What did you do differently that time" ME: "Got out of her way" Coach approves. Mare knows her job, just needs me not to get in the way. #eqsky. #mysca

Garrocha work yesterday. I fooled myself into thinking I was done with Garrocha, but it reveals imperfections in my riding. I managed to write my initials in the arena footing. I need to build myself a better Garrocha pole. #eqsky #equestrian

Portrait of a bay horse with a very alert expression facing the viewer, his legs and parts of his body dissolve patchwise into the cerulean background.

The mare got yesterday off - some grooming and love and a bit of lunge but no riding. She may have turned a foot on Thursday. She and I are old enough that it is better to err on the conservative side and permit more rest. Monday however the weather will be good #equestrian #eqsky

Three blue horses gallop from left to right across a pale textured canvas. Their legs and bodies seem to dissolve into the background.
I am struggling to stay positive in the shades of the world. Here are some cold horses.

In preparation for the total fire ban and extreme fire rating in the Australian Capital Territory and parts of New South Wales tomorrow, the relocation centre for horses will be at Queanbeyan Showgrounds. Make your plans accordingly and lean on the community for help if you need it.
ACT horse owners, especially those North Side - since EPIC wont be available over the weekend (another reason the loathe Summernats), next nearest relocation centre is Queanbeyan Showgrounds.
Fingers crossed we wont need it 🤞🤞

I'm sure we've all seen those "We used to ride these things into batte" horse vids.
This vid explains how the horse's armor worked.

⚠️ Dearest mare-managing equestrians,
Feb 17th is the Lunar New Year. Be advised that we will be entering the year of the "Fire Horse".
I know some of you have been living with a Fire Horse for the previous year(s).
One hopes the Actual year of the Fire Horse won't be a pinnacle point.

A black standardbred horse stops in an almost perfect square horse while the rider rewards him with scratches and words of affirmation for being a good, good boy.
Small victories! Our first ride in three years.
While theres lots of work to be done (for both rider and horse) we took a big step forward this morning.
So proud of this boy! ❤️

Riders perspective of a chestnut horse with a wide white blaze looking out at an emerald evergreen section of the forest.
A hand holding 3 cinnabar polypores. They are an intense saffron color, the fine tubular undersides almost a cadmium red tone.
On our solstice ride we scored some cinnobar polypores. The woods smelled amazing, but Ricardo was a little spooked out at the fresh boar scat everywhere.
