so pretty.
So I know I haven't been posting much progress on my mare lately, but I finally got a lesson in on her today and she has just come so far since I first started working with her. The pictures are a bit blurry, thanks to a wonderfully rainy overcast day, but I think they show so much. Her shape is looking very nice, and she is stretching into the bit, and doesn't seem to have as much of a hiccup about it. She had some amazing trot and walk parts today. Robyn said that her walk is one that most dressage people would die for :D. .. now all Ineed to do is get her very consistant with that walk (and trot) so that by show season next year, we will be ready to get her into atleast some intro classes. I'm not sure if we will be able to get the canter finessed enough to do training level by the spring...but we can hope right? I figure i'd do atleast 4 of the SMDA shows...and maybe the first two be intro...and if i feel like she's ready i can do lower training the second two....So exciting. I'm so proud of her, and me for doing most of this by myself, although robyn gave her a wonderful start.

Hi, my last name is Jonza and was wondering where you got the name for your horse, "Miss Jonza." Thanks.
She is a retired Standardbred race horse....that was her registered race name. I was told that it had something to do with the breeder's grandchildren or daughters or something were they merged two names to make the one, but really I have no idea! Sorry :)
