We started over an X jumping... then I moved onto a oxer followed by another bigger oxer. Henry was good. I had some good jumps and some not so good ones.
It's nice to not feel sick, like am going to throw up and paniced when I jump. I am in much better shape then when I got Henry and feel so much more confident in myself... back to pre baby Karley haha!!

Friday - I had a lesson again (to make up for last week). Since Henry has been ridden all week, my trainer said to just tack him up and get on- so I did. Then headed down to the big arena. We hacked on the flat- lots of changing of direction to work on bending and again moving his hip over.
Onto jumping... started with a little lattice and then moved onto a line (added in the second lattice)... then added the oxer and bigger oxer... a course the the jumps progressively got bigger haha! Then we went to just the oxers- both directions in an oval. Got some good lead changed too :)
Hubby is working tomorrow so no riding for me. Probably hack/messing around Sunday.. then I have no idea what next week is going to look like. It's the WS' last week before college so I don't know when she is going to ride Henry but she'll do 2 rides and I'll do 3-4. If it goes how I *think* it will then it will go like this... Monday hack, Tuesday lesson, Wednesday trainer ride, Thursday trainer ride, Friday hack/off, Saturday lesson.

Lol, we did trot forever, I was just happy she left us at a posting trot and not in two-point or sitting trot. Henry was great to watch at bigger jumps, he definitely got a little spunky there, but I was so happy to see you put on your "oh crap" smile/grimace and keep at him. Its good to see Karley back... now I just need to get back in shape ;)
