I cannot say enough good things about this mare!!! I’m honestly 💯 percent in love and if I owned her outright, there’s no way I could let her go. However, I own her with a partner and I have no business keeping another, so somebody amazing needs her. We will be VERY picky about where she goes.

Iris came to me in January pretty much unhandled, and has been an absolute superstar. She’s smart, willing, balanced, intuitive, and confident. She was so easy to start— schooled xc confidently on ride number 6, including ditches, banks, and water.
She’s ultra brave- jumps anything and loves it. Super super scopey… I think she will go prelim with zero issue. Incredibly clever with her feet and has great instincts/learns so fast from her mistakes.
On the flat, Iris is forward but relaxed, not hot. Very steady in the bridle and born on the bit type. She does prefer a rider who can keep a light contact and half halt/steer without hands. She has three lovely gaits and feels like a sports car. Although green, she is ready for training level dressage and beginner novice eventing. She hacks out quietly and is not spooky.
On the ground, Iris is easy to handle. Loads, ties, etc.
somebody amazing get this one before I figure out how to turn it my life upside down and make her mine.

: You have to watch video of yourself riding. Sorry. I know, it stinks sometimes, seeing the things that separate you from Charlotte Dujardin. It does. But you’re where you are on your journey, and that’s simply that. Lean into it. And watch the video 🎥

Feel lies. You may be so acclimated to the way in which you are crooked, or the way in which you are leaning too far forward or back, or the way in which you are doing xyz imperfectly. You need to see it. It will help you. And mirrors are great, yes, but they aren’t video.

Practice being nervous. ⁣
⁣
The only way we get good at anything is to practice it, right? So if you’re a person who gets nervous - show nerves, young horse riding nerves, new horse riding nerves, whatever - find little ways to practice being nervous and functioning anyway. Riding new horses gives you the heebie jeebies? Practice by getting on a friend’s saintly schoolmaster, so even if you go ‘round the bend, you’re unlikely to get hurt. Showing makes you squeamish? Enter a schooling show, or even pop your clothes on, braid, and trailer to another trainer’s stable for a “faux show.” ⁣
⁣
Nerves are part of the fight or flight response, and help keep us safe, so they’re not going away. But we can practice dealing with them in little bites, so the big bites don’t feel so big.

DRESSAGE TRIVIA:
Which two movements are basically the same, but are actually more different than night and day?

Do you know the difference between the trot loop and the canter loop? Besides the fact that one is performed at the trot and the other at the canter, there is a MAJOR difference between these two movements.

They are performed in the exact same pattern, or path, so how can it be possible that they are so completely different?

Well, you know...
🎶🎤🎵 "It's all about the bend, bout da bend, bout da bend..."🎶🎤🎵

The trot loop at training level requires a change in bend twice. And it must be smooth and fluid. The changes in bend come at you quick and you need to navigate and plan and think....😰

The canter loop at first level does not include any changes in bend, so you ride the path with no worries of that! BUT this is actually a harder movement because it's actually much harder to keep the same bend in the canter without breaking to trot or switching leads! Welcome to counter-canter territory...🫣

Regardless, both movements require planning and attention to detail. See the diagram below to help you visualize both movements😎
