Hacked around on the flat with my trainer adding in things here and there.
Then we moved onto jumping...
Warmed up over the vertical back and forth. Then did the X (left lead) to the oxer- he stopped the first time. Trainer said I rode for a stop, I didn't' feel like I did- tried to steer cause he was trying to dodge out left or right and def had my spur in him. Came back around and he jumped it... then we did the vertical to the X to the oxer (off the left lead)... then did more of the oxer and really getting him forward forward forward to it.. then backing him off and adding the extra steps.
It wasn't a bad lesson but I hate that he stopped... Onto a new day I guess.

Cooled out, untacked, groomed, loved on, grained, grazed and took Henry back to his stall.

Lesson Thursday, lesson Friday and trainer ride Saturday.
I hate when you feel one thing but someone else sees something different. But like you said, today's a new day!
ReplyDeleteYep and I pay her to train me so yeah :)
DeleteRiding is stupid hard. I mean really, stupid stupid hard. I loved your lunch picture on instagram the other day!
ReplyDeleteYes it is and people don't get that!
DeleteThanks! I was learning and eating! :)
Oh Henry? Don't they know if they do it right the first time, we won't make them work harder?
ReplyDeleteSeriously... can you have Libby talk to him please?! Thanks :)
Delete^ i agree, riding is not an easy sport. I crack up when people say 'doesn't the horse do all the work?'. uh yeah totally, you come try ;) Someday in the not so distant future, Henry will be so consistent, you both will forget he was a stopper.
ReplyDeleteRight!!! People have NO idea!
DeleteHe has been awesome the last two days for my outside lessons :)
panera? :-) all horses stop once in awhile, but I know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteOh girl Panera is amazing! I will take you (and the fam cause my fam loves it too!)
DeleteI love reading hunter/jumper blogs - I always learn something...and don't know how you all do it!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog b/c i learn dressage stuff!! :)
DeleteI find my trainer and I often disagree when she tells me things like that. :) Still, I usually don't argue because that's what I hire her to do.
ReplyDeletehaha yep.. i think i said "are you kidding me" and then was just quiet and went back to it again.
DeletePanera might be one of my favorite "fast food" type places. So delicious. Their mac n cheese is scrumptious. Sorry about the stop but as you said - onto another day! :)
ReplyDeleteI love their food too!!! Yes yummmm Mac n Cheese! :)
DeleteYep and we has some great lessons Thur and Fri
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favourite reason appeared to be at the web the easiest thing to remember of.
ReplyDeleteI say to you, I certainly get annoyed even as folks consider concerns that
they just don't recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as defined out the entire thing without having side effect , folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
