Thank you God for blessing me with this amazing girl!
Had a jump lesson. Hacked out very briefly.. 10 minutes. Rode in Lyrics jump bit but took off the "hooks". Still a bit quick in the field but didn't get time to settle.
got to arena for lesson with Laura and Julia. Trotted so nicely... did our square turns. Quite lovely!
then started with wide low oxer. brave girl. Trotted it. then added the gate... then another BIG OXER!! Eeeks. Like.. novice big! And then eventually a whole course of big kid fences. And funny just manned up and popped over them all like it was nothing. In fact, she was better than the big kids some rounds. ha ha! Came to the big oxer in the two stride and I could feel her realize she needed more power, rock back, and just ping over it! With ease! SO MUCH FUN! And she was so easy to ride today. Not giving me the finger, not bolting off.. just happy and doing her job like a pro!
So proud of her. Jacel and Laura both said she was really starting to develop her canter..
then went for a short hack... good girl. i think we both like this bit. not chompy today in the arena. though likely more has to do with the jumping than the bit. was chompy on the trails but annoyed because she was in the back cause she tried to kick at Player. and annoyed she couldn't eat grass very well. But... smart because she was chomping and chomping and couldn't get it around the bit... so she went to spit the grass wad out of her mouth but then caught it and ate it.
good pony!
Good God. Thanks for the pick me up!
