So, it's time to give praise where praise is due....(and it's a long one...#sorrynotsorry ) Ham. This weekend. Wow. What a boy. First, If you've been following this journey, you know without a shadow of a doubt that this horse has made me work for every step the past 3-4 years. His progress, while linear has been slow... to the point that you need to look back 3 years to see the actual progress. But this weekend he gave me a side of him I've never seen (and trust me I've seen most sides), but before you get ahead of yourself and think...wow he must have moved forward, no..no..you can stop there, there wasn't that much change. But what there was... He got into warmup and actually worked. Not wigging out or getting his big boy panties in a twist over a blade of grass out of place. Then finished first with an extremely tough judge, who only said he needed more impulsion about 18 times too many. But day two....even tho we came in 3rd out of the 7 riders....Ham did something he hasn't done since training level. First, If I thought day 1 warm-up was bangin....darn, day 2 was phenomenal. But then we had to go into an indoor. We've been into an indoor several times (and it's not just any indoor, it's the kind that goes from warm up in one room, to a vestibule, then a ring in another room)...but of all those times, we finished ONE ride, at Training level with I think a 49%. This weekend, he put together a solid test, with a judge at not only C but B too, and rode a great test. Not his best, but it was great...being my goal was to just salute at X at the end, knowing his ugly history with these kinds of indoors. To say I'm proud is an understatement. He's worked so hard. Ham, you did good big boy. You did good. ❤️👏❤️👏 #horses #goodboyham #dressagetraining #dressagehorse #horsenation #betweentheears #spookyhorse #spookyhorseproblems #horseownerproblems #horse (at Willards, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1xCZiOksx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
