Not to be outdone

Oh Mazy! Goodness knows what I'm ever going to do with you, my crazy girl.

I love the Crazy look in Mazy's eye in this shot. She was obviously blasting around like a rocket and having fun. 

She may only be 14h but she is such a solid & thick built pony. With nothing to really scale her size against, she looks like such a Big horse. 

And round. The word round just comes to mind looking at her, but not in the sense of her being a keg with legs. She just has a correct roundness in her way of moving. 

Yes of Course she has 3rd gear! And probably several more we haven't discovered yet....  

Which is why it is not a good idea to name horses/ ponies for sports cars people. They try to emulate the way the cars handle and should be handled. Mazy has always given 10,000%. 👀 Seriously I would be happy with 50% or 75% like normal horses. 

What plans?!?!

 

I'm not sure what I was thinking or had in mind for Casey when I bought her. I mean she was a 3 y/o barely started under saddle. I think I wanted a horse I could just be chill with.

A horse that I could putz around on, wander down the trails and just relax with. Pick up a nice easygoing lope and cruise around. 

I mean she just vibed like that in the pics and IRL when I got her. Then when I added good food, grooming and hoof care... Casey came to life. 

She found 3rd gear and makes a Lot of use of it. Obviously she feels good! 

Her trot has also taken on a different kind of mojo. 

No complaints here. While she is still a bit smaller than Mazy in some ways, she has also really developed a motor and has similarly become a little powerhouse in her own right. 

Yet she still remains as sweet as can be. 

With such a pretty face! So soft, sweet and easy to get along with. 

Then there's moments like this where her stride, suspension and reach. are. just. Oh. Hell. Yeah!

All thoughts of a chill and relaxed western horse go right out the window. A trainer friend of mine a few states over said- Two things- 1) Bell Boots are a must! And 2) Dressage! + Her! = YES!!
