XC lesson with Jacel at Ashland.
BEAST MODE! She was ready! We trotted nicely to warm up and then cantered and then I'm not sure we ever walked or trotted again. ha ha.. we did walk across the field but as soon as she knew we were going to do more jumping, she leapt into the canter. Fine... I'm not gonna bother fighting you on it. She jumped all the things. We pushed her a little bit and then Jacel mentioned that she's about to outgrow ashland. Like.. it's not enough of a challenge. She jumped most of the training/modified and prelim stuff today. Not all of it, but most.
Did chevron to water to drop into water to log out and then bendy line to the skinny chevron. I leg yielded her too much and she was drifting off the line but I turned her slightly and she just jumped us out of it. She angled that skinny chevron and almost felt like she jumped it from a standstill, but it felt so easy for her. TIGGER! Girl has some springs! And she jumped into the water over the log like that log was 6'! ha ha..
we did the skinny coop to skinny coop and she skimmed over those, we did the corner. we did the big prelim rolltops! Eeeks. Beautifully though. The only thing we had an issue with was the bank down. We did the one off to the side and she said NOPE! And screached ot a halt. I stayed on. We tried it a few times and then came up it. Then she went down it but then we tried again and she said nope. So we went to the other banks and still had a few struggles, but she managed to do the first three. Not the biggest one but the rest. So Jacel was actually glad to see that, because now we have something to work on. Bank day coming soon. :)
Keep my hands low... don't hang on her face, even though she felt like she was flying!
Good pony!! Took a little cool down hack since she was so up and animated. wanted her to cool down a bit.
