Subject: Staci's Lesson!!!!!

Author: Mal

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:02:33 10/04/02 Fri "Ok mount up and today we are going to try some jumping." I say to Staci. She nods and mounts up on Painted Charm. Over the years she had developed a liking to paint horses. She got on Charm and started to warm up. Since she did not need any instruction in the warm up so I let her warm him up. Then i went over to talk to Aaron and Katie. Once she had warmed up i set up a few 2 and 3 foot jumps for practice. When she had gone over them a few times i set up a course that ranged from 4 to 5 feet. Then i told her to get off and walk the course. When she came back from walking the course Aaron came and gave her a leg up. Then she went and set off at a canter for the course. She planned her appraoches perfectly. First came a simply 4 foot plank jump. Then a triangle. Then the in and out. They went over perfectly and came up short at the liver pool. They cleared the big jump with room to spare. Then came some more tough jumps. The last jump was a challenging 5 foot plank. They headed strongly at it and cleared it with inches to spare. I was amazed. I walked over and said that that was an amazing ride and that i wanted her to ride him in jumping lessons. Then she handed him off to a groom and went to watch her brother and sisters lessons........
