I rode dandy again! Yay! It seems he really is starting to trust me now, which benefits us both thanks goodness. I was getting kinda tired of the bolting :)
We did:
- Forward walk
- Flexion
- Rounding
- Supple
- Trot (flexion) Without stirrups
From here the class was without stirrups for the most part
- Cantering
- Jumping a cross rail from a square turn down quarter line (w/ stirrups)
- Jumping same cross rail (without stirrups) :)

Jumping without stirrups was a new one for me, and since I was riding dandy I was sorta scared of the outcome of that (since he bolts) but I found it super easy, and lots of fun to jump without! He even bolted after and it was easier to stay on since there wasn't the push back from the stirrups. I actually want to learn how to jump bareback soon as it sounds like tons of fun as long as you have the balance and the right horse.
