First post, Introductions

So this blog was started to be a training/showing blog about my horse, Lola. So let's get to the introductions, shall we?

The Rider
Name: Ashley
Experience: Been riding since I was 9.
Disciplines: Hunters for the first 10 years, mostly jumpers since then. Dabbled in western and dressage.

The Horse
Names: Much Obliged (USEF), Tsunami M (KWPN), Lola (the barn), Schmola Pants (me)
Birthday: June 14, 2000
Breeder: Las Marismas, in Canada, back when they were breeding Dutch Warmbloods.
Lines: Wolfgang x Noralda xx Concorde
History: Did hunter/jumper/dressage until she was sold by Las Marismas to an unknown entity. Was then (possibly) sold again, unknown to whom and unknown what they did with her. Purchased by John Muldoon, who did hunters with her, sold shortly thereafter to me in November '04. Did hunters with her until February '07, when we started with a new trainer and switched to jumpers.
Favorite discipline: Jumpers!
Least favorite discipline: dressage
Physique: 15.1hh, mahogany bay, two white socks behind, coronet on the front right, star and snip, distinctive long and curved ears.

So that's the two of us! This blog will cover further training with our wonderful anonymous trainers, L and K, as well as our competing and other various stupid activities we enjoy (of which there are too many to count). Occasionally Lola's "sisters", Jackie, Excel and Willow, will be discussed. Questions, comments, etc. are appreciated. Please enjoy!
