Taz | Pura Vida Eventing
https://eventer4life.wordpress.com/taz
So…the story of Taz. I think I remember him being spookier than he was, but either way he scared me! He was decent dressage, although honestly it was terrible and I had never realized how much I didn’t know dressage. But, I moved on and got ready for cross-country. I was so excited! I decided that I would give Taz some time off from jumping. So I took lots and lots of dressage lessons until his dressage and my dressage were both a thousand times better. We tried jumping again in August and he did...Then ...

January 20, 2012. January 20, 2012. I’m trying to make an effort to write more often, so here goes! I apologize in advance for the length, I don’t have much to say right now (:. Dawkins has been fantastic lately! We jumped up quite a bit in one of our lessons, and he was clean and jumping great! Super excited for this season! I also went schooling yesterday at Galway Downs. I’m doing the fundraiser clinic this weekend, so the goal was to get him back to the level of confidence he had last fall! Of course...

Copper Meadows 6/12 | Pura Vida Eventing
https://eventer4life.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/copper-meadows-612
June 12, 2012. Very happy to be able to say Copper Meadows went GREAT. I’m really loving Copper Meadows, I seem to do fairly well there (:. First…Dawkins. He was great on Friday in my lesson. Pretty spooky schooling in the dressage warm up since there are a few xc jumps that serve as the fenceline, the dressage courts, tape separating the rings…etc. Good though. Saturday morning I rode him bright and early, 8 am. First in the Prelim! Sunday was cross country day! Dawkins was out first. He warmed up w...

Quick update | Pura Vida Eventing
https://eventer4life.wordpress.com/2012/05/31/quick-update
May 31, 2012. Well I haven’t posted in…quite a while, so here’s a quick (poorly written) update that I wrote for another site. So of courseplans never work out like you want them to. In (somewhere around) October of last year, my trainer and I started thinking about goals for 2012. Of course, since I was prepping to move up to Prelim, one of the first things to come up was Young Riders. After I successfully completed my first Preliminary horse trial in November 2011 (with a qualifying result! Sunday morn...

Galway Downs Fundraiser Clinic, 2012 | Pura Vida Eventing
https://eventer4life.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/galway-downs-fundraiser-clinic-2012
January 25, 2012. Galway Downs Fundraiser Clinic, 2012. So on Saturday, I went out to Galway to school cross country at the fundraiser clinic! We warmed up, and Dawkins was being pretty good. He was super spooky, which I expected since it was freezing, raining, and windy, and also getting a bit strong. Again expected- he was in the full cheek snaffle again and that made me nervous so I pulled a bit too much, making him strong. That’s from Inavale in June of 2010, our first event together. I wis...We then...
