My some kind of heaven: May 2016

Competition time!

Although sad things have been happening this week, I decided to participate in a competition nearby. It was the first time in a year that I went to a competition with Rokis. He had been good all week so I was hoping we would get two good courses from the competition. I don't even want to say what we jumped, but let's put it this way that for us the classes were kinda like baby classes! Everything went well all the way from the morning until we were back home.

So, more about the courses I rode: they both had the same structure and actually I think that Rokis has never felt that good while competing. I was astonished but not surprised, since we've done A LOT of work to get the confidence burst out from Rokis. He was absolutely awesome during both courses, but I forgot the course for a split of a second, and I didn't ride well enough to the coming fence and I decided not to let Rokis jump from that position. Otherwise I rode better than I had planned during the course walk!

All in all we accomplished more than I hoped, and I'm super proud of Rokis how much his rideability has developed!!

I'm not going to talk more about the competition day, but here's some pictures taken throughout the day!


I just love how my saddle looks like when it's clean..


9AM and ready to wash Rokis to be white again!

 The price giving ceremony, and the judge complimented Rokis on how good he looks like!


 Team Blondie is happy!


Rokis just after few seconds I let him go to the pasture..


 ... And he took the most out of it!


And the aftermath! :D


A must-to-see snap I sent to my friends!

She was the best horse I have ever had, and I ever will have.

She gave me more than I could ever imagine. Sleep well, dear friend.

I will always miss you. 
I love you.
