Bridles n Bits

Feels so good to be back 🥹❤️

Too many trainers are guilty of letting their clients purchase and ride horses that are not suitable for them… this is why we see rides lacking harmony

Thank you!! 💕

Good girl!!

My friend made me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday. I’ve only ever bought myself flowers, have never received them before 🥹

Horse prints are apparently all the rage right now?? Does this mean it’s publicly acceptable to be a weird horse girl??

Considering neither of us have shown in a long time and I had only ridden this horse maybe a handful of times prior to the show, I’m pretty happy overall

Survived the schooling show. My accuracy was horrific considering how long I’ve been doing dressage (judge raked me over the coals for it in her comments 😅) but we made it around, good enough for a very generous 64% in 1-2

Bandit can start rehab 🙌🙌

I’ve been riding a different horse while Bandit is off and it’s been going well enough that I’ve entered us in a dressage schooling show. She’s a bit tricky to ride though so my expectations are very low but I’m super excited for the opportunity to get to ride down centerline again!

He’s cute!!

Got treats??

One more week til we find out if his injury has healed…

Thank you!!

Ran my 10K this morning and crushed it. 53:42, first in my age group 🎉🎉🎉

Bought Bandit new pull on bell boots about a month ago and he’s already managed to destroy one 🫠

Bandit has his recheck next week… fingers crossed things are healing well so we can start the rehab process 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Internally raging over my commute to work. I do not make enough to consistently have a 45+ minute commute every day but here we are…

Last long run before my race ✅ can’t believe race day is almost here 🥹

I see people in my neighborhood walking with them all the time!

Bandit living his best life!

2nd to last long run before race day. Crazy it’s almost here…

Dropped a pretty penny on diagnostics for Bandit last week, this week I have to get a new set of tires, still have more upcoming vet bills in the next few weeks… the hits just keep coming 🥲

Thanks! Just regular Mane ‘n Tail shampoo and some elbow grease!

All clean! 🧼

So glad I trusted my gut. It pays off knowing your horse inside and out

It’s okay, the good news is that he’s expected to make a full recovery with no limitations

Exactly! Vet didn’t recommend stall rest due to the nature of the tear so he’s back out in the pasture for now

Vet update:

Bandit was diagnosed with a mild suspensory tear in his LF and very mild hock arthritis

Lameness exam is this week finally🤞🏻🤞🏻
