This weekend I had the opportunity for a fun cross country school at Running Start. The day was a semi-casual opportunity to play with some Training stuff and just have fun. Even better, Ali was able to video and capture some gems on tape!
My plan is to put together all the clips and do a bit of editing, but since I haven’t gotten around to that yet, I thought it might be just as entertaining in the interim to make a few gif’s of the better moments.
Not that all the better moments meant stellar riding, like when this happened:
Though they weren’t all disastrous, I promise, and Foster was mostly, if anything, a little overconfident…
Seriously, I don’t think these water jumps are going to be a problem!
From a different angle, and his first attempt
Superman!
Foster did his first corner!
And we had a blast just working on our gallop!
Will get the video together soon!
Red on the Right 
That looks so fun! Makes me wish the ground wasn’t frozen so I could go for a good gallop!
It was a blast! And it’s bitter cold here at the moment too, lucky we were able to get out there while it was still a mild 50 degrees! Ha!
I love your smile after that first goof! He looks SUPER confident.
Gawd it was so funny, I couldn’t help but laugh! I thought for sure I was going swimming!
FUN
Fun, and I didn’t fall off! Just almost!
almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. 😉
Yeehaw! Foster says “HOLD ON MOM I GOT THIS!”
Haha it was one of those times when I was grateful for my horse’s big neck! Built in handlebars! 😛
Foster is so handsome and awesome and perfect. Does he have a twin? 🙂
Haha I won’t tell him that, it would go to his head! 😀
i LOVE these!!! looks like a great time with a very confident horsey. can Foster please tell my mare that the water is nbd? lol he makes it look fun and easy 🙂
(also, how did you make the gifs? i wanted to do something similar, but only found sketchy looking software on the web…)
Foster likes water a little too much- it’s almost a hazard how much he wants to play in it! I think it’s funny how some horses just love water and others really hate it, but Foster’s definitely the former.
I use Photoshop to import video onto layers, then export for the Web as a gif.
Love all those GIFs!!! so fun
I’m a big GIF fan too!
