Mr. Fishy had a horse trials this weekend. Despite an amazing warm-up, the Tomato got amped up for dressage and was quite the handful. Mr. Fishy rode him really well, though, and was 4th after dressage. Stadium was the same day and again he had a great warm-up. In the arena, though, the Tomato likes to go faster and faster and faster. It was about the time of this photo that a friend's daughter said, "Does Tomato ever slow down?" He was still in 4th after stadium but did have a rail down so was tied with another person who did not have a rail down. He is capable of having a nice jump. Mr. Fishy put in an amazing XC course today and I was only able to get one picture. Of course it looks like he's flying through this one, also! Mr. Fishy went double-clean in XC and rode so well! The Tomato was a super star as always and we had a great time! And on |

Thanks, ladies! Tomato is a great guy and I loff him dearly. But he is a difficult ride. He's good for Mr. Fishy because he's safe and you can point him at anything and he'll jump so he gives you a lot of confidence, but he is BOUNCY, crooked, and can get on the muscle. I keep telling Mr. Fishy that his next horse will seem so easy compared to riding the Tomato. I think I may see if he and Paddy get along so he can get a feel of a straight, smooth(er), more fluid ride. |

Love me some flying Tomato! His pictures remind me of Orion. My warm-up with him was lenthening first to get him out of the necessary stride...and then lots of halting so I would have a semi-reliable half-halt on course. I hated doing it, but that involved a least one serious CTJ halt each ride. If I did that, I'd have a horse. If not, he'd just drag me wherever he wanted. |

Yeah, Snacky, that's what I was telling Mr. Fishy he needs to do in warmup. He can have a lovely, smooth, easy warmup with nice jumps and no ramping-up, but that won't help him once he gets in the arena and the jet packs go on! He needs to create the super forward so he can work on bringing him back so that when he gets in for his round the Tomato is already clued-in to what the program is! I do get the "but I LIKE this lopey canter ride...." 'cause I have the same problem!

Okay, so you told us he was 4th after both phases, but where did he finish?? You can't just leave us hanging like that! I wish Mr. SMS was interested in riding. Oops, he is--if it's a motorcycle. He even has a horse, who is now a Horse Out Standing in His Field. But he's also a lame horse, so I guess it's for the best. |

That TOmato is such a cool horse, and it seems like he's the uber packer-- even when he's packing at a fast pace
