It is well into May and I have not blogged for awhile. Rigitta is having trouble with saddle fit. She was not doing well under saddle the last 10 days of April. I have her back on the long lines and lunging in a Pessoa. She needs to build up her top line and I need to get a saddle for her that fits. She measures to a 40 CM. So I expect to start her all over again June 1st, all things being equal.
Theo is continuing to develop well doing 2 schooliong shows and 1 day clinics with Bob Orton and Julio Mendoza. I ride him for Julio and Anecia rides him for Bob Orton.
Gitta's saddle fit issues have slowed down her progress so Theo will be doing the 2 Spanish riding School Clinics.

- Rigitta is a 2005 Lipizzan mare,(Pluto II Dixana x Rheia), that I finally found Dec 2010 after a 2 year search for a Lipizzan. Many adventures and new found friends later, Rigitta and I begin our partnership and eventual dressage competitive career. Rigitta has not been started yet so this will all be from scratch just like my 2007 Dutch Warmblood, Cedar(Theo), has been. I am an over 50 Adult Amateur Dressage competitor. I am a supporter of the Nokota Horse and have owned several. ... www.nokotahorse.org ... Amy Dragoo is helping me with my Blog photos. Majority are from her. ...
