#getoutsidect

Huge struggle today because I wanted the trot SO BAD!!!! Raaaaaahhh. I am determined to get her wtc and then go back to working in gait 😤. I will have to be satisfied that we got a couple good moments in after the camera fell down XD. And my leg looks a lot better since I shortened up the stirrups. It’s tough to do the “ring work” when I know she hates it, but I know she is way more than a trails only girl! #thestruggleisreal #diaryofamadhorsewoman #workout #horse #horsemanship #equestrian #horsesofinstagram #instahorse #horsestagram #winter #snow #getoutsidect #gaitedhorse

Miss Vickie had fun hiking and swimming on this muggy morning at Beaver Pond, Plunge Pool, and Fawn Pond. #geb #guidingeyes #getoutsideconnecticut #getoutsidect #getoutside #whitememorial #nature #summer #labradorretriever #yellowlab (at White Memorial Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP58HumMVZ9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Taking a nap while she has a good soak in the pond. We did a nice conditioning ride and nearly got to 6mph average over 11miles. She did awesome! #diaryofamadhorsewoman #horsestagram #horsemanship #endurance #conditioning #training #ride #rideordie #summer #summervibes #horse #getoutside #getoutsidect

Fresh snowfall on a late winter morning can leave some lovely contrasts of dark and light.

Sound on if you want to hear some delighted whooping 😂. Pretty short but sweet session today. Did a little riding with the bareback pad. Was going to toddle around in the woods too but the driveway ice was too sketchy. #diaryofamadhorsewoman #horsesofinstagram #horsemanship #horsestagram #lunging #groundwork #horse #winter #getoutside #getoutsidect

Jeb escaped and decided to hang out with us. We worked on transitions for about a half hour because footing wasn’t great. I’m seeing progress here!! Still having trouble breaking into a canter or building up speed from the trot but we had a lot of good moments of a slower trot finally 🤗. #diaryofamadhorsewoman #horsesofinstagram #horses #horsemanship #equestrian #progress #horsestagram #trot #gaitedhorse #flatwork #winter #getoutside #getoutsidect
