Date Posted: 11:02:35 12/27/02 Fri In reply to: Shayla 's message, "Travis's Lesson" on 16:30:38 12/23/02 Mon I set up a course of 2ft-3ft jumps. "OK Travis here is the course. I want you to get off and walk the course." "OK" He walked over to me and i grabbed Lady's reins then he dimounted and walked the course. When he came back i asked him if he had a plan set. He nodded his head. "OK well off you go then. I will just go sit on the fence." I walked over to the fence and saw Saddle leaning on the fence. "Hey Shay" "Hey" "I just came down to watch him jump her." "Ya thats OK." Travis started to canter the course. He cantered at a nice even pace towards the first jump which was a single. They went over it with ease. Then came the oxer which they soared over. Then came the wall, the in and out, the bounce. They soared over those easily. Then came the liverpool. Now when they reached that Lady refused and turned so sharply that Travis went flying over her shoulder. He landed and got up immediatly then went over to Lady and got back on her. He went towards the jump again and she refused again. This time he stayed on but just barely. "Um....Travis want to let me try her?" I asked. "Ya sure cause she is being an idiot." I walked over to him and mounted up on her. I put Lady into a canter and put her towards the jump. Just as we were about to reach it i gave her a tap with my crop and she sailed over it. I gave her a pat after she went over it. I praised her then i dismounted and told Travis to get back on her and go over the jump on more time before calling it a day. After he had done that (she went over it this time) he dismounted and led her back to the barn. Then i said bye to Saddle, Travis and Kelsey and headed home........
