A PONY! Ha just kidding, but I can dream right?!
I sent my family the following things :)
Girth to match my bridle
Clippers
Breeches
BoT Pad
Reins
Cooler
Friday, Saturday, Sunday...
Friday my trainer said Henry was really good- yay!
Saturday we had a lesson and there were 8 peeps in the lesson... I don't mind riding with a crowd but a crowd with such varied skill level is hard.
Henry was good- a bit fresh but I didn't lunge so what so I expect?!
We hacked around- even some no stirrup work- KILLER... this horse is bouncy and until you try to ride him you have NO IDEA what it is like ;)
Moved onto jumping... Jump the little panel, a long straight ride to the rail and then a tight roll back ish turn and then a long approach to another panel, quick left turn to the X and then a nice approach to the first panel again. Did this a couple times and then we were done. He was better... Henry tends to get fast and heavier throughout a course so it was nice to be able to accomplish a whole go without falling apart.
Today he got turned out and was a ball of mud after...
Hack Monday, lesson Tuesday, off Wednesday, lesson Thursday, trainer ride Friday and hopefully a lesson Saturday.

Great photo!! Sounds like you made progress in your lesson. Libby tends to also get heavy throughout a course, so I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah it's nice to do a course without stopping after each jump LOL
DeleteAwesome photo - you guys look fabulous! Henry has plenty of scope to spare, doesn't he? :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah the bigger we go the better he is :)
DeleteJust have to say, LOVE LOVE LOVE the BoT pad. Unfortunately now i'm addicted, and want more of their stuff (if only).
ReplyDeleteLove the jump shot, he's got a nice scopey jump :P
one of my barn friend loves their stuff so i am excited to try it out if I get it for Christmas :)
