New Pics of Tequila

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My friend Erika came down and snapped some pics of Tequila and I on Saturday.  I cantered Tequila for the first time ever in our sand-ring.  Yesterday, I took her in her first show...just a little in-house "fun show" at our barn.  We did 3 classes and had such a blast!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Here are the pics:#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://community.webshots.com/album/449202276XQqUQF"#ed_cl#http://community.webshots.com/album/449202276XQqUQF#ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#(hope this link works, it's my friend's, not mine)#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#She has really grown a lot this summer.  The last pics of her were taken Apr 9th and if you look at those and compare, you can see how much she has grown...and she's still not finished!!  Her withers should come up a bit more yet (I'm hoping so anyway...she looks really bum-high in a couple of the pics, but in others, not so much).  We're estimating that she'll hit 16hh.  She has definitely gotten wider and filled out.  She takes up more of my leg now.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Here's the link to her earlier pics:#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://community.webshots.com/album/283534894oUqkuF"#ed_cl#http://community.webshots.com/album/283534894oUqkuF#ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks for the compliment.  She is such a super mare!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Those are nice pics.  I especially like the two pics where she is stretching into a nice frame.  You look relaxed there and have a nice position.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#SO it sounds like your on a high now...!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks, Patricia.  Yes, Tequila is green as grass, and the moments where she stretches down onto the contact and actually uses her butt are few and far between...but she is honest and uncomplicated to ride, and I feel safe on her.  I've got her whole life to turn her into my "dressage pony" LOL!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And thanks for the compliment on my position!  I've worked pretty hard at getting my elbows bent.  Still working on keeping my thumbs UP and my heels DOWN #ed_op#IMG onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#C6D3EF';this.style.border='1px solid #3169C6'; " style="BORDER-RIGHT: #3169c6 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #3169c6 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #3169c6 1px solid; CURSOR: pointer; BORDER-BOTTOM: #3169c6 1px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c6d3ef" onclick="InsertImage('/richedit/smileys/cheeky.gif');" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''; this.style.border=''" src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/cheeky.gif" align=absMiddle#ed_cl#  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#looking good!!!  Is purple her colour?  It works on her, just asking cause the halter and brush both look to be purple.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I'm attempting to make lilac her colour, not dark purple (don't want her looking like Barney LOL!!).  Trying to find lilac-coloured stuff is hard though!  Not a real popular colour yet, I guess.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Lilac has always been my favourite colour, and now that I've got a girl, I can actually put it on her!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#BT, you're going to bring the polos to Mac's BBQ, right??  Riiiight???????  I don't wanna hear any of this "U2 Concert" stuff, missy.  You get your butt down to London or I'll send my henchmen out to hunt you down.  Got it??  I want those polos, but more importantly, I want to meet YOU!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Are you afraid yet?? #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Nice pictures! You two are looking very good! I like the lilac colour matching. (I'm assuming you're far away from Bahr's? They have that lilac colour there- I've seen it for polos, saddle pads, halters and such. Actually, you know what was really cool that they had, was polos that were coral- such a nice colour).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
