[classygirl23]

you guys look really good =0) shes beautiful

[Canadian Sage]

thankyou! I am very proud of her!

I might start showing her in english attire for LL. not sure yet.

[HUS_WP_lovr]

You guys look great!!! She is so good for a baby! She'll be so accustomed to the show environment by the time you get her under saddle it'll be a dream to show her

[wpisawesome]

As always Katie is such a cutie! You both look great!

[Canadian Sage]

Thankyou guys!!!

She had her moments, but that is expected. I LOVE her!!

I only got to watch SMS, but what a pretty baby, looks like you cleaned her up super well! Especially with all that white haha. I love the square halt at the end of SMS right after your jog off.

ETA, just watched the other videos and I think she looks absolutely awesome. Just curious, what is a lungeling class judged on? Horse's movement, the horse's attitude, or your handling of the horse? I've always wondered that haha.

[Canadian Sage]

THankyou very much!

LL is judged on the way the horse moves, conformation (for say a riding horse), willingness, attitude, use of circle, etc.

THe more you have to use voice commands or the whip to get the horse going, the more you get docked (or dont get scored as high), I need to quit travelling, and I have to let her off into a larger circle than she is.

You HAVE to show all three gaits, otherwise you get DQ'ed.

This is my first year showing LL...and my first time EVER training a LL'er

[mtgirl]

The videos are AWESOME, Katie looks so great!

I think that you have done a SUPER job training her, especially for your first year. You should be VERY proud of yourself

Katie looks stunning with all that bright white, you must live at the barn LOL!

[Canadian Sage]

THankyou for commenting guys!!

I am VERY proud of myself, and what I was able to do with Katie, but I do owe Katie alot since shes such a fast learner and catches onto things VERY quickly and forgives me for my mistakes!

The secret to getting a white horse white is spending an hour or so giving them a good THOROUGH bath, blanketing them through the night with leg wraps on (helps minimize how much white can actually touch anything if they go to lay down). And do a good job cleaning/touching up in hte morning!
