Welcome to my Web site for La Annabella!

The home page is a good spot to let visitors see all the pictures that i have taken so far of Belle. It allows you to view her full pedigree and read all the ups and ups on our training progress.

Belle had about 3 weeks of ground training. We have worked on lunging for respect with her, she is a big mare so I have taught her she has her space and I have mine. I wanted to have a good foundation before taking her out for a hack or jumping. We have since taken her out for the first time in the outdoor arena. The pictures below are from her first trip to the outdoor arena and jumping. Trotted and cantered around for a bit getting her used to the new scenery, never offered to run away or anything. Walked her over a one cavaletti  about 30 times, then began trotting her into new bigger jumps with no hesitation or run outs. Very very willing mare, she amazes me every time I get on her. I am amazed by her work ethic, willingness to please and sane mentality. 

9/21/07 update, Belle and I continue to ride quite often. We are continuing to jump small cross rails for a confidence builder. We have done several hacks, up hills, down hills, through open fields, past stumps, trees, and animals. She is awesome. While cantering across the open field I have let her out and asked her for more and brought her back with no problems, so she will have no problem slowing down to set up for the next fence. This past weekend we traveled on a hack to the creek to test water.  She did great, walk trot and cantered in the water. We also have been working on lead changes, she picks them up nice and smooth bending to the left.  Takes a few strides while bending to the right to pick that lead up, but showing great progress. Something that I have noticed is, Belle hasn't shown the best of attitude towards dogs in her pasture, just to let you know.

11/28/07 update, Belle has been in professional training for 2 weeks now, she is showing great progress. I have put up a few of the recent pics taken in the 28th of her jumping some cross rails and then some barrels. At first Belle didn't pick up her right lead the best. But after the first week of training she picks up both of them on queue now. She is balanced and supple in both directions. She has the heart and eagerness for everything we have thrown at her.

Please call to book your appointment today to see her. I also have a video of her now, please ask for a copy.
