Paris Ride 6: Nunn Finer

Saturday, 1/23/10

I’ve got to rave about some of the tack I got over the holidays. The Nunn Finer Piaffe Dressage Girth is fantastic! I bought it at Horseman’s Outlet– Merry Christmas to me :^) It is well-made and the padding is generous. The angled straps and anatomic shape seem to be comfortable for Paris and the rings aid in a secure fit without pinching or girthiness. My parents bought me a Fleeceworks FXK dressage pad for Christmas and it is fantastic! It feels great to ride a mare with nice tack that fits her well.

Today’s ride was shorter than I wanted, but we did get to ride outside once again. I longed Paris for a few minutes and rode her at the walk and trot. The ground was frozen in about half the arena but we stayed in the unfrozen part and she felt fine. Her feet are adjusting nicely to being barefoot. Paris was responsive even with a lot of distractions around her. I can’t wait to ride again!
