The Sassy Haffie Here lies the misadventures between myself and my haflinger mare, Cinner. Along with the promo of crafts I make along the way.

I'm sure you all think that we have died and fallen off the earth. That is not the case. Cin is happy and healthy. We actually won a whole bunch of ribbons this year and now are working on conditioning before a camping trip near the end of the month.

In oct 2018 I had the bright idea of riding my pony ba****ck after being out of state for a month for work. I of course, took a digger, because I got off balance and tried to hang on like a spider monkey and that spooked pony and she bolted. Obviously theres s hole in our training.

My barn owner always gets off her horse like she's never gotten off a horse before, wiggling and a scooting, and dangling and otherwise looking like an idiot (I say this with love) but her horses take it, and if she ever gets in trouble on the trail the horse will stand and not panic as she regains her seat or smoothly dismounts. It's a theory that works.

I too started getting off my horse like a drunken monkey, and pony takes it like a champ. So since it was hot af, and I just came over after leg day at the gym (I'm bound to be a cripple tomorrow) we decided to get some photographic evidence on how to look like a dork while making your pony a much better mount.

So here you go.

My barn owner has trained the horses to come to the ringing of some jingle bells. It's pretty much the best!!

Rode Ghosty for a little bit because he needed a little reminder on how to be a horse... And it remind me that holy butts.. he's substantially bigger than Cin. I could fit an entire pony btwn his withers and his ears. Not to mention the drop from the Grand canyon down to the ground! Rode him for a few laps before giving him back.

Good lordy, she's cute!! Finally got a girth that fit the whale... So we can try out our new AP saddle. Donned my helmet...

Donned my helmet, said a little prayer, sacrificed my soul to the devil...and took her to the straight away to see if she liked it enough not to kill me. (She's very sensitive about saddle fit)

Everything went wonderful, a very nice smooth and not rushed (we won't go and say it was collected, just mentally) canter. She calmed down after was convinced the rabid deer were going to eat her soul.. and I stuck to the saddle pretty good (mind you I was wearing shorts and I'm pretty sure some of my flesh is still on the stirrup leathers)

She walked happily home with her little happy haffie sashay.

So I think pony approves.

Been going to the barn at night alot, so by the time I get home all I want to do is eat, take my pants off and go to sleep. So enjoy this series of pictures of me just trying... For the love of all that is holy... To get a decent picture of Cins cute face without her trying to shove pasture into it.

Ps.
We failed.

Like your favorite.
I'm quite fond of the first one

Hit the trails this afternoon. Cin wanted to go, and goooooo we went. We couldn't have done it without our handy dandy crupper.. or ecovet fly spray. Skeeters are getting bad, but it kept them at Bay.

Yes, thats my dog with a massive pile of unknown s**t on his back. It's not his.. I've since given him a bath...and he still stinks.

Also.
Just realized I wore my blue glasses today. Who knew!

From the last show where pony and I won absolutely nothing. Nada. But... She's cute! We did the mystery jackpot class which..big surprise.. was the same pattern as the class before. Hourglass.. first pattern we power trotted it. 30 secs... Second pattern we cantered... 30 seconds.. ha. We didn't win that one either.

Pony is gonna kill it at her first show this weekend.
By kill it, I mean all the judges will be knocked dead from a) her cuteness b) our inability to control the haflinger and being crushed to death. C) the aroma of her turbo farts. D) her massive deltoids

All a win in my book.
