Enter at A. At X, halt and salute. At C, improvise!
This poor rider was competing in only her second show ever, and her cheeky pony took it upon himself to add a little excitement to the dressage test. Extra points for demonstrating his versatility!
I sure hope my pony doesn’t do that when I start showing dressage! The only reason she might not would be because she’s too lazy to jump anything.
Leave it up to the ponies to cause all the trouble!
The poor pony went where the rider was directing it…straight. And the horse was obviously not happy with the tight reins on a bit. Try bitless bridles and you’re horse may respect you more:) All must remember to look where they are going first!

Somehow I knew exactly what was coming! 🙂

This is funny in retrospect, but I bet that rider wasn’t laughing at the time!
Aw, how embarrassing.
Oh my, my face would have been a DEEP shade of red!

Looking where you want to go would have helped, and this pony needed to be worked down more before the test. Lunge that POA.
