Well Vinnie competed in his first associate dressage day last
Sunday. We were very tired coming into the first prelim test as I
had worked him down tooooo much (10 minutes and he thought he was
shagged) so half way through the test all I seemed to be doing was
kicking -very unattractive might have been better if I got of and
carried him around. I only got on him and walked and troted for
about 2 minutes before the 2nd prelim test and he was much easier to
ride. At the end of the dat we got =6th in the first test and 1st in
the second. Not bad for a little fat pony. Made some of the people
on big horses take notlce.

He is on a heap of grain but so lazy-any advice cause I though I had
an eletric bum.

Cheers TARA
