As promised, I was able to watch a bit more today and have much to tell you! Some of the four star horses did their dressage test today, and I can't believe that they have to gallop and jump cross country and then do stadium jumping too. Captain, good luck buddy because I get tired just doing a dressage test!
There are tents flags and people everywhere- it's very exciting! Therese took me for a lot of walks and I even got to ride in the performance arena before our musical ride. It was fun because lots of people came to watch me practice. Our ride was at 1 and I was lucky enough to be the first one in. As soon as my music started I got very excited and wanted to do lots of flying lead changes. I had a lot of fun dancing around and everyone was cheering and taking lots of pictures! I wish my Mom, Marian had seen me because she would have been very proud of me! At the end all of my new Friesian friends and I went in together and did a victory lap to a traditional Dutch song. My friends that do the four in hand carriage driving were right behind me, and I did not want them to catch up so I told Therese to hold on because I wanted to gallop! I know how much she likes to gallop and jump so I decided to run AS FAST AS I COULD and jump over the cones that were set up in the arena. Therese did not seem to think this was a could idea even though she was laughing because she kept trying to make me go in a circle. When it was all over, I got to stand and take many pictures and meet a lot of people.
This morning Therese and her friend Mary got to the barn very early and I got to go for a long walk. They told me they were going to go watch the four star horses do dressage and I kept telling them I wanted to go to, but they said I would have to wait my turn and go at 3 o'clock. It's very hard for me to be patient! I will post more later....
Ta ta for now,
Tsjesse
Glad you had so much fun Tjesse!
