Vidock Vendredi!


Vidock: Studly Neighs, EveryFriend! I had a really fun day yesterday. You see, one of our visitors from Italy (Sofia's Mum) is Simonetta Ferrarin, a famous Italian rider who does dressage and shows with her black Percheron stallion. Yesterday, she rode me for the first time and she said she really enjoyed it, and that I was a really good boy!

Let me share some potos with you:

We started out slowly...


A little light trot...


I was with a Lusitanian horse being ridden by my teacher, Mr. JPD. I was a very serious student whereas he was fooling around...

 
And then we picked up the pace!



Can you see how big her smile was?

 
 And after all that serious work, I decided to give a 10-year old girl who was visiting a big treat and asked her if she would like to ride me. As you can imagine, she had never been on a horse my size before.


Before I sign off, I must tell you that Violette and I are going to be doing some extra cool stuff on Sunday, and we really look forward to telling/showing you all about it next week!

  9. So Vidock, are you going to take up being a log pulling and dressage horse? That is quite the combo!
