✪ Update 5 ... Hacking w/ Stormy ..! ✪ ... 10/28/25 ... Today I just took Stormy out for a quick hack to get her moving before we start looking into shows! I've done a lot of work with this girly previously (on my old acc.) and I feel that we are ready to compete! Stay tuned! Anyway, Stormy was being a bit fussy as I got her out of her stall to brush down, and was being quite noisy, making a racket! I soothed her with some gentle rubs and careful clucks before tying her up and brushing her. When I got her tack on, she waited patiently and didn't rub or fuss with the girth as she's done in the past. Finally (after a good scrub + a bit of a battle!) I mounted her and led her out into the field. I walked, trotted, and cantered her for a few lap before hitting the trails. I'm pretty familiar with the trails after being at Foxtrot Stables for about a month, and decided to start her off on the beaten path, and then bring her out for a hack on the edge of the grove. She was collected and calm, and really exceeded my expectations for today! After a bit of steering, collection, and fun on the trails, I hopped her over a little rock wall. She did beautifully! Stormy didn't misstep or pick up the wrong lead, and I was super proud of her. Overall, a really great hack! Stormy has come a long way and is ready for whatever life throws at her. Can't wait to bring her to some competitions soon!
