Thank you! I love dressage. What level do you ride at?

The stallion is actually going to be starting in-hand dressage soon. We don't have classes here, but in Europe and Australia, they have several division at their shows for long line dressage with the minis. It is very impressive. I don't think we'll be up to their level anytime soon though!
Oh only prelim atm. I am looking for a bigger horse which can take me further. Funny that u mention AU as I’m in NSW

That sounds wonderful! Good luck in your search! Dressage is such a demanding discipline, it really takes a special horse and rider to work as a team, but the results are worth all the time it requires!
And Yes, I actually buy my show halters from a lady in Queensland.

They are gorgeous! I have 2 mini mares that I adore, though they are not as showy a type of yours.
Thank you! Minis are great little horses. I can assure you that mine do not look at all showy right now in their winter woolies! They look more like stuffed animals.

If I had any pictures of me riding which didn’t have my face in it I would put them up. Maybe on my mum’s phone, I will check

What a beautiful horse! The symmetrical white socks are so striking. I also love that you are showing outdoors! Wish I could take my minis over that course in the background!
Yeah. I have never shown indoors lol. The course in the background is pretty big. I used to jump so I would know lol.

I have never shown outdoors! Lol A lot of people here think it would be hard to show on grass, but it just requires a little more training. The course looks big! I wish our Hunter courses were like it. That would be fun.
