I thought I'd be horseless...

So I was in NY for the last few days and thought I'd totally be horseless. NOT! I found every horse in Manhattan I think. The first thing we did was go for a carriage ride through central park. This was Ricky. We picked him because he had purple glitter on his hooves. :)

This would be a horsey statue that we passed by in the carriage.

This is my cousin and Ricky.

FAO Schwarz had huge stuffed horses!

Then I found an officer on horseback in the middle of Times Square. Just chillin'

Riding Lesson

So my last post about my lessons showed a video of my first few jumps. Well I've been working on my jumping every week now and thought I'd post a new video of my progression. Gretchen keeps adding on every week, and I love it. Grace loves it too. He'll be all poky when I first get on and then we go over that first x and he's like "oh! ok! it's go time!" He was really good in this particular lesson. I could easily control him and his speed. He wasn't pulling me through the jumps at all. And we were getting the extra stride on the line like Gretchen wanted, which is usually impossible to do. Fun stuff!!

non-horse related...

Sorry this has nothing to do with horses, but I wanted to put it up for everyone to see. I got to walk on the grasses of Wrigley Field this weekend!! Here is me in the outfield with all the ivy behind me. I was photographing a wedding and they held their reception at Wrigley. Guess what was for dinner?! Hot dogs and Chicago-style deep dish pizza! yum!
