| This is what we jumped |
We started out flatting around with some lead changes sprinkled in. The moved onto jumping.
Started with the "normal vertical" back and forth a bit.
I forgot to add the wedge in the picture but we did that too after the warm up vertical.
Then moved onto the vertical to the oxer one stride a few times and that went awesome. Then we added in a right hand turn after the oxer around the airy vetical with the polls in front of it. I was intimidated by it at first but when we jumped it it was no big deal :) Thankful that my trainer pushes me!
Then we did the one stride to three strides to the bounce. The one stride is forward so the first time that I did the bounce I was going to fast and it was um interesting- Henry did awesome but then I came back around and we remembered to have a good pace to the one stride then WHOA three strides to bounce.
It was a great lesson, cooled him out and put him away.
Friday was supposed to be a trainer ride but the WS canceled at the last min... yeah not to happy about that.
I am not sure about tomorrow as the Hawley clinic is going on but i'll prob hack no matter what :)
You are queen of the wedge now, you should stand on it with a flag.
ReplyDeletelol well since I jumped it straight yesterday maybe :)
Delete^ lol L,she should. I get palpitations just hearing about your course lol. You two are rocking!
ReplyDeletehaha he jumps SO much better outside, doesn't look at anything (knock on wood)
Deletesounds like you are ready to do jumpers!
ReplyDeletehaha no thank you! :) we have worked too hard to get a constant speed through the whole course lol!!
DeleteGlad to hear you had such a great lesson! Boo on the WS for canceling last minute though :-(
ReplyDeleteYeah I could have ridden too if she would have given me a little more notice then right before she was supposed to ride :( Oh well... haha!
DeleteThat looks like a really fun course! Glad he was a good boy for you, but boo on the WS cancelling.
ReplyDeleteit was a good lesson :)
Deleteyeah well it happens more then i'd like ha!
Wow that looks like a tough grid! But also probably really fun and helpful. I can't wait to start doing some grids with Wiz- I think they're one of the best ways for you and the horse to learn!
