What did we do?
-Warm up
-Rising trot
-Sitting trot
-Beginning leg yields at walk and trot
-Turn on the haunches
-Canter 20m circle
-Jumps!!! *
*The jumps were a gymnastic/ bounce sort of thing. They were tons of fun and a great start to jumping this year.
I was so excited to be put on Rizzo this lesson, and I hope to ride her again. She is a chestnut mare with a blaze, and I have been told she is part paint horse (but doesn't have the coloring). She has been known to give you a work out as she is not forward, she loves to push your patience. Most of the time you need to us the crop behind your leg to get her to go in a forward manner. I was determined to just use leg, and the crop on the shoulder. That's what happened. She was super forward with just that. Lets hope I can work on it next week as well. She is quite talented once you get her going and she will surge over the jumps without touching them if she is asked right. I love her she is my next favorite horse after Bliss!
