What a fun lesson! Hey guys! Just thought I may post about a high point in my lesson!
At the end of our lesson, after we had been working on weird turns and lots and lots of flexing and bending, my trainer said, "Lets put up a big jump for fun." I was expecting something along the lines of 2'9 or 3' (three foot is the highest we have ever jumped) and she put the roll top up to 3'3! It was the second jump in the line (the first was only like 18 inches lol!) and we jumped in HORRIBLE! I was freaked out afterwards but I was like I am NOT messing this up! So, I sat up tall, shoved my heels down, and my horse did the rest. We got there on the most perfect distance and soared over it! It felt spectacular! Gah, I love that rush you get when you jump a big jump! I felt him snap his legs up and close the angle between us, it was almost like we were suspended in midair!
Well thought I would share, thanks for reading! =] |
