Not the best quality, only because it takes forever to upload the higher quality videos.
For some reason the program I used to edit the videos cut off the ends of my dressage tests. I have no idea why. Although on test B, the camera died right at the end of my test, but I think the program cut some off of it too.
BN Test A : score- 32.6
BN Test B: score- 26
Jumping Videos Just added:
Jumper A (2'6")
Jumper B (2'6"-3')

pictures
These pictures are from Friday's lesson.
Wednesday I have a h/j schooling show with Jesse.
Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday I'll have the Dressage show videos up. Who knows.
Jesse sticking his face in the air... How attractive.
One of his few nice jumps, although he's knocking it down. (3' high 3'6" wide)

Jesse goes to his first show!
Okay, maybe not his first show, but with me, it's his first. It was a schooling dressage show, to gear us up for Horse Trials on September 6-7th. Jesse did pretty good. He loaded well onto the trailer to go to the show, and wasn't dripping with sweat when he came off (yay!).
I had braided Jesse , so he could realize that being all dressed up wasn't a big fat deal.
Warm up went pretty well. He looked in the mirrors, and was looking at everything, but soon settled down, and began to listen.
When we went in, he was looking around again, but I got a lap and a half before the bell rang for my test to begin. For the most part he listened during the test, although was looky in the corners, because he saw the trailer outside. At the finish of our test, the judge said that my score would go up a ton of points (or in eventing's case, down) if he would only bend the correct way instead of looking out of the doors.
So, when my second test started I kept it in mind and kept asking him to pay attention (which I should have done from the beginning, but dressage tests make me oh so nervous, and I freeze up). Our second test was much better.
It was a short, quick day, but well worth getting out for him to see new things before we're surrounded by a couple hundred horses galloping and jumping and doing crazy things.
Our scores were calculated, and my first test recieved a 32.6, and my second test received a 26!!! wow! I was so excited, but when I talked to my trainer, she seemed rather unimpressed and said that 'it's just a schooling show'. Hopefully I can prove her wrong and kick butt in dressage at the event!
My dad took videos (although the video camera died just before the end of my test). I'll try to get the video up sometime next week, because I still have to study study study for my rating in 3 days! AHH!
I have a couple pictures from before riding.
