This lesson was super fun and even more challenging. I was so happy to be jumping again! I also got to ride a different horse. Her name is Spell (Spellbound) and she is a tall, flea bitten grey mare who loves to jump! We even got to ride in the outdoor arena which was a great change!
Our lessons was:
- Warm up - flexing, forward walk, square turns
- Warm up at trot - flexing, square turns, leg yields and ground poles
- Practice cross rail to jump over
- 4 jump course then a 3 jump course
Spell used to do Hunter jumpers when she was younger, and before she was donated to our riding program. She has a love for jumping, and she has a lot of speed that you have to control otherwise she gets a little bit nutty. We got to pick our own jumping course, and riding spell over both courses was so much fun. She jumps so smoothly and has a great canter. She also has auto flying lead changes so I don't have to worry about the leads.
She is totally different from Elvis and that is why I love her! I asked for her to be put on my year end show list as well, because I thought we did really well together <3 In case you were wondering she has melanomas on her neck, and that blocks part of her breathing but it doesn't hurt her and it doesn't stop her from loving to jump!
Here she is:
