It became my ultimate goal this spring, to successfully capture two of my horses as they play against one another down a stretch of open field at a beautiful canter… and that is just what I succeeded to do this week!
So, of course we must start out with some introductory photos. We head out on the trail starting at Palmyra’s Horsemen’s Park. The we involved is comprised of myself (Erica K. Frei), and two of my horses – Scout Sweet Dynasty (Paint gelding) and *Tanjobi (Bashkir Curly gelding). I prefer to take two out at one time, not just because we can cover more ground, but it also takes me less time to ‘work’ both horses.
Usually I start out aboard Scout, for the very reason that he is more seasoned at the moment than Jobi…
We are getting more energy, more involvement, more mental connection. We had less forward in leading today from yesterday, the temperature difference was noticeable and the horses were soaked today, so understandably he was more stiff during the warm-up. Less distraction towards the arena mirrors.
