My lovely Portuguese half chaps arrived today from Iberiana. It took me nearly an hour to put them on and I have blisters ( she did recommend the ones with velco but did I listen???). However they do look very smart and are comfy. They are a little big round the top (probably bad measuring on my behalf, but I think my saddler can take them in.
Xaile went extremely well today. Almost too well... I don't really know how to decribe what I mean. Edward has been doing a fantastic job of schooling him for me and his head carriage is much stiller and lower. But he felt a little dull. Not unwell or anything, just a little too good maybe. Lacking fire in some way. Very hard to describe. Maybe a little on the fore hand? I don't know. Wish there was a video. Tomorrow I'm going to ride him in his Portuguese tack and play bullfighting and lighten him up a little. But he really was a good little boy.
Also he felt more horse-like and pony-like- probably because he was using his back and not just doing the sewing maching thing.
