Interdressage without the dressage

More Interdressage videos done this week. Continuing the non dressage theme after the Christmas competiton which involved handy horse, practical horsemanship and a performing goat.......

This month there is a Happy Hacker class. Last time we did this, I was the only one not filming in a sand school, we actually went for a little tour round the village. We came 6th, the winner basically filmed a walk and trot dressage test wearing a hi viz vest! Not what I call hacking.......

Still, we have decided to give it one more go, so I filmed a test earlier in the week on Chester. Because most of my hacks involve ride and lead these days, I took Sky along too, and the dog, who always comes with us, wearing what's left of her hi viz coat which has unfortunately proved to be non bramble resistant.......

Quite impressed with Ches, one of the required movements is a small jump and he actually bothered to jump the ditch instead of his usual tromping through it.

Ali wanted to do the class with Fina, so they did something similar, without a saddle, she's got a bit of a thing about riding bareback at the moment.

So we'll see what happens with the judging. If another sand school perfectionist wins, might just have to give up and go and do some online horse agility instead.......
