Once we had completed our warm up i showed him the course we were going to jump. The course was a simple 4ft course we were going to jump. We troted around the course while i showed him the jumps. The course consited of the following jumps:
1st- Leaf Pit
2nd- Irish Bank
3rd- Lake Jump
4th- Picnic Table
5th- Coffin Jump
6th- Coop

He nodded and went off to the course. I told him that i was timing him and so he should start in the box. He went in a faced towards the opening. I counted down 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...GO! Mikki and HC shot out of the box like a bullet. I told him to slow HC down just a notch. They Jumped down the drop to the leaf pit then out of it. Then came the Irish Bank. They cantered boldly up it and then down off of the bank. Then they headed towards the water. They dove down into the water and cantered a few strides before jumping back up onto dry ground. They came to teh picnic table and jumped it with inches to spare. Then came the coffin jump which they took bravely. The last jump was an easy coop. After that they cantered towards the finish line. "Excellent time." I cried. Mikki smiled and patted HC. He said thanks and then i told him that we were going to call it a day. We got back to the barn and Mikki said that he was going
to go put HC away. Then he said thanks for the lesson and went to untack HC. I went to track down the twins.......
