Saturday Lesson + Video

First.. here is the video of two Tuesday night lessons. There are some rough- really rough- moments but hey it's the life of training right!? haha!

Yesterdays lesson (Saturday)... there were only 4 of us which made for good amount of room and attention for each of us :) It wasn't a particularly hard lesson but it was a good one.

I didn't lunge cause it was raining and Henry was a good boy for the ride. A bit up but nothing I couldn't handle.

Flatted around .. even did lead changes!

Jumped a little course and things went ok- the glare was funky as always and Henry tried to look at the first jump or two but I closed my leg and gave his no choice but to go over. He was fast and strong so lots of stopping and backing up.

Cooled him out while L jumped some big ones!

Untacked, put on a cooler and let him eat grain while he dried and I cleaned everything up.

moments before it started to down poor and I had to walk back to the barn- yes i was soaking wet!

Hack Monday, lesson Tuesday, off Wednesday and Thursday (will prob turn out), trainer ride Friday, lesson Saturday.

  2. Hmmm, for some reason the video won't pull up for me on my PC. It comes up in Photobucket Mobile and won't play the video.
