Jamie and Medusa
2 weeks later 3/12/13 Elbrich was transported from Scotland to Lancashire and is known as Medusa.
We left her a few days to settle and then we got the saddle fitters in. We use the saddle exchange and a type of saddle called Reactor Panel … along with her blue endurance bridle which is frowned upon by the more old fashioned establishments, but once you have come back from an endurance ride covered in 2” of sand or mud you understand the dishwasher safe varieties of tack.
She has undergone highly intensive flat work training .. boot camp for 4 weeks with the trainers for dressage. She learns so quickly it seems to take 2/3 times and then it’s there, collected, in contact, responds to leg, as long as you are confident a friesian will try to do whatever you ask from them. February 1st – Barton EC, her 1st dressage competition, long journey, strange place … Intro A doesn’t have travers and piaffes, but we managed a few but by 50% of the way through she suddenly relaxed and performed like a dream gaining 3rd with 63%. 40mins later and her confidence boosted P4 and another 63% 24 hours later February 2nd – Croal Irwell Valley 22km pleasure ride – a warmer for the endurance season ahead, we maintained a healthy 8km/hour average despite getting lost and riding with 2 new horses. The ride had tunnels, under motorway bridges, down the side of fast moving rivers, even a metal bridge.

She is everything I wanted, My wife’s dressage and my endurance season for 2104 is mapped out, always remembering for every 10km of endurance it’s a day off afterwards.
