Sakura And Sasuke Story Games

full race! Part 2: Sinclair

Anche Sinclair ha partecipato, con mia sorella, nella categoria 1 insieme a me e alla Gi. Per Sinclair era in assoluto la prima gara di completo! E, come in tutte le gare di completo, la prima prova è il dressage...ecco qui ci sono state alcune difficoltà... infatti Carolina ha montato molto bene il pony in campo prova, ma quando è entrata in gampo gara
c'è stato un piccola cosa che le ha portato, purtroppo, l'eliminazione. Infatti la prova è incominciata molto bene, ma alla lettera "C" si era formata una pozza che Sinclair ha mal tollerato: infatti, mentre ci passava sopra al galoppo, per evitarla did a little jump and put the right front on the divisions that mark the white race field and hey presto ... it turned out! Everyone was very sorry for Carolina, which led to still finish the dressage test and could also participate in the tests, jumping and cross, but out of the race.
It 's a real shame because in fact the jump (the specialty of Sinclair) did a fine net and even cross the pony gave her best (she bravely faced the high water), and Carolina has fitted very well! Now we have a po'concentrarci on dressage, maybe the next time the idea is to only participate in competitions in dressage (the GA in Switzerland) so used to it!
Here are some photos:

(ok I'm a disaster with the scans of the jump, the image has failed is also wrong time ...)

full race! Part 1: Gipsy

Sunday, July 13th I went for my first race with full Gipsy! It 'was amazing!
Saturday afternoon I went to the stable from the Gi to clean the tail and make them the famous pigtails ehehe ... it took me more 'than an hour because I'm not very good ... cmq Sunday morning woke up at 4, breakfast, and after wearing the clothes I was racing at 5 in the stable. Loaded the horses on the trailer (in all there were two horses and a Gipsy 'other mare named Elegance) ... we started in the middle of the storm, with lots of lightning! I was a bit 'worried, because with such a time there was a risk of a possible cancellation of the race! Fortunately, where we had to go to Cuceglio (in the equestrian center "Hippogriff Golden Star") was good weather. when we arrived, we downloaded the material and sent down the horses from the trailer and then we watched (me and my sister Carolina) to cross the path with my teacher Cornelia, who showed how to the location and tips for each obstacle. Category 1 to race, began with the dressage (shooting "2 to 1") at 12 and 10, and my test was at 12 and 26 ... Well I must say it was quite good, was second after everyone has finished doing dressage! But 'the next time I bet most of' the quiet pace and accuracy, the famous X in the middle line, I have a little 'Ratata:-P ... cmq after finishing the shot was the moment of trial jump. Always with Cornelia we visited the location (in total there were only 8 obstacles, fortunately because of my memory ehehe), then we have prepared the horses (remember to thoroughly clean your legs before putting gamasce! But as I did a scordarmelo?! Bè devo dire che ero abbastanza in trance quella mattina per via dello stress, del caldo, ecc...). Dopo il riscaldamento, al suono della campana, ho iniziato il mio percorso! La brava Gi ha fatto un bellissimo netto, quindi dopo la gara di salto... eravamo ancora seconde! Ora bisognava concentrarsi bene per l'ultima prova...la gara di cross (che incominciava verso le 5, quindi alle 4 e mezza bisognava essere pronti per il riscaldamento)!! per fortuna finita la prova di salto abbiamo potuto riposarci e a fare il pieno di energie (con il gatorate della mamma). In totale erano sedici ostacoli (con due passaggi obbligatori). Dopo il riscaldamento è dunque iniziata la gara! Che tensione allo start when you hear "missing ten seconds!", "nine ... eight ... seven .. six ... five ... four ... three ... two ... one ... GO! So we left and I Gi and I faced all the obstacles (some of em at a rate a bit 'too high ihihi), and even the dreaded, the highest lake (that we were able to address the trot yuppy, it was too dangerous to deal with galloping given the high water level) and when we arrived at the last hurdle and cut the flags that marked the end of the trail was too happy! E 'was so much fun! Now they see, after cooling down the horse, giving him a shower and put the material on the van, the result. So I went to check the charts (not I could find) and to see photos of all three tests. While I was in line (among other things at that moment is coming down 'hail a very strong, I must say that we had a great luck with the weather!) To try to see my pictures I saw ... call me! I knew that with a second rank after the jumping and a path to cross over it was possible to be on the podium ... but I really did not arrive before imagined: -0! But above all, this victory is the Gipsy ... is a fabulous horse, lids, nice! I really enjoyed it and I hope to spend even a good time with her.

photos of the week training at the Riding Club Casorate!

Carolina the other day and Sinclair went for a cross training to RC Casorate. As soon my Ponette will compete nelle gare di completo abbiamo deciso che magari era meglio abituarlo all'ambiente...
Comunque siamo partite io, mia mamma e Carolina verso le 4 e mezza per la scuderia, abbiamo pulito Sinclair (per fortuna gli avevo pulito la coda il giorno prima! Era impresentabile :-P) lo abbiamo caricato sul van (povero lui detesta viaggiare da solo, cosi abbiamo fatto un rimedio della nonna: per farlo calmare abbiamo appeso un cespuglio di lavanda nel van vicino al fieno, una nostra amica ci ha detto che è un calmante ... bè devo dire che un po' ha funzionato! Eheh...) e siamo partite. (chairamente uscendo dalla scuderia ho dovuto tenere in braccio il gatto nero che abbiamo in fattoria Charlie, perchè puntualmente every time we go there with the van across the street ...).

highway We met our friends, who departed from Origlio and also went to their riding to train. In customs we had to wait a bit 'and after two hours we arrived! We were immediately attacked by voracious insects that seemed to scare even the special spray! When all the horses were ready (in total there were four horses. Sinclair and 3 mares) were on their way to the track gallop to start heating up ... so he started exercising (ps: take the next clock !!!): time to begin a round trot, then gallop around a quiet ride back to a trot, a galloping around a bit 'more' supported a ride at a trot, and so on. In practice the left hand were two horses and two others respectively on the right hand, each took turns trotting round a turn at a gallop as mentioned before, from all around the gallop became more and more 'fast and the end seemed to be' racecourse, the horses were running fast! Sinclair then went like crazy! Hehe ... finished training the horses have recovered his breath and began the lesson jump: Sinclair has thus been able to 'get a taste of the obstacles that must then deal futurol'unico problem is that when he has to jump an obstacle and must make a long distance before, "gasa" a lot and goes too fast! In general, jumped all the obstacles without much difficulty and with great energy! But then 'is a peculiar thing happened ...

fact an insect him point, and he began to fidget a lot , because the itch a lot and could not scratch! Ehehe so we have seen a good show of terre-à-terre and Levade ... then subsequently faced the pool (do not know what the official term to define the "lake" of the cross) was very nice, Sinclair enjoyed a world that goes through the water and jump in! Towards the end you are transported to another "pool" and they were very funny (although Carol does not think the same way ;-)) because after a couple of jumps into the water needed to make a very narrow and Sinclair, view of the excessive heat which always faces every obstacle .. . is practically fallen into ! then re-emerged after this "dive head" not very happy, but then quietly managed to come back (again, with several entrances "acrobatic" type of kangaroo jump)! Finally, after a long shower and a half hour break

to eat the grass to dry the hair, we loaded the van. When around 14 and a half we returned to the stable could enjoy its deserved and mash ... to get a nice nap!
