Giddy Up Part Deux

the first and last time i posted on my riding was 3 months ago and i must say i have made progress. i am very pleased that there's hope in teaching someone in their mid 30s :o)

meet neo. he has been my patient partner from day 1.

didn't get the name of this horse but i love his color

though, it hasn't been easy. it takes time, patience, a lot determination and most of all, practice. i have the dermination and would always make a conscious effort in ensuring that whatever my misses or "errors" were, i should be able to correct it and not have my trainer remind me. however, i don't have the luxury of time to practice as much as i'd like. so, no matter how determined i am, i lack time to practice.


Riding for Sykes :o)

 so going back to my progress, i have started jumping. though the jumps are low, the entire process is not as easy as it looks. quoting my trainer, violet, "going over the jump is easy but the flatwork is the most important."

here's the last video taken by my hubby. i've been having problems uploading it so i'm not sure if it will successful.

hopefully in my next giddy up post, my flatwork is much better and i'm completing a jump course. wish me luck!

Ate our way through the weekend

 happy anniversary to us! though we did plan on going to poro point, like last year, we just drove to tagaytay and ate our way through the weekend.

this was taken last year at poro point

we can never get enough of tagaytay. even if we're there almost every month, tagaytay will always be our place to recharge and escape from the city. anyway, we had lunch at antonio's. such a beautiful place! we were even lucky to meet the owner, antonio, himself!

weather was perfect!

i love this room!

black and white tiles

yum!
