York River State Park Training, Aaliyah by schicksa at Garmin Connect - Details
Been riding with Sarah Seasholls, helping to get her horses ready for the No Frills LD in April. I have been working with her little mare, Aaliyah, who she got as a steal for $500 from a lesson barn. We believe she's at least half-arab (if not full), and while small she is very mighty! She's learning how to deal with things like mud and water very quickly, and is very happy and willing under saddle. She does have a little feistiness to her (she is a mare after all), but nothing out of line. We're trying to test her and see if she'll be a good junior horse for Sarah's daughter.
Sarah has been riding her Thoroughbred mare Tess, while we're training. In less than a month, she'll switch to ride her Arab gelding Helo and plans to take him on the LD as well. Helo was over-reaching and tore up his heels a bit so he's been on rest while he heals up. We plan on going in glue-on boots, as long as the horses take to them well. Can't wait to be back at maincamp with everyone again!
