Lesson time

On Tuesday we went back for another jump lesson as Steph would be out of town for the rest of the week.  We ended up doing grid work which was really fun as she sets them on an open stride to keep us from riding backwards.  Sit up, leg on, giving hands.  It was exactly what Prisoner and I needed.  He was straight down the line everytime, no questions asked.  At one point there was a placing pole he didn't quite understand, but he puts in such an honest effort and thinks and figures things out that he quickly fixed himself.  The final grid was a x-rail, one stride, x-rail, two strides, oxer, one stride vertical, no stride, x-rail.
St. Patty's day in a pink coat, no worries I had on a green shirt

See? Very green.

"ok mom you just hang on, I got this"

Awkward rail/jump, but he got it done
Awkward rail moved

He likes to feel the wind going by

Dem knees


Up to an oxer, hello scopey

Landing gear
So much love for him, look at those knees, those ears, that lip

Vertical added one stride past oxer

New facebook cover shot I believe
Oxer up to three feet, whee!
Omg his neck usage...I may be biased, but I think he is brilliant

All the kisses for that cute face
