Willow looks great under saddle

Willow had lovely paces and was a pleasure to ride.

Here my ex-girlfriend, Philippa, is having a schooling lesson with her dressage teacher. Willow was not her best horse by a long stretch, but lessons need to be shared.

Although Willow was a novice dressage horses she performed very well. Her paces made her look very elegant in the dressage ring.

Philippa was a much better rider than me, but I took great pleasure in beating her in our first competiton when we both rode Willow in individual tests.
