I go to Riverman's stall. He was very spirited when i got there he seemed happy to see me. I tacked him up and took him to the indoor arena. There were 5' jumps there. Riverman had never jumped that high so i was going to train him. I hopped in the saddle and made him walk. I made him trot then canter. We were aiming for the first jump now....and we went over without any problems. We aimed for the next jump....but Riverman shied. I walked him back and tried the jump again..he went over that time. We went for the next one...and we went over again. Riverman seemed to being getting the hang of it. We went over the last few jumps without any problems. I let him have some rest then we went to do some cross-country. We jumped over the first 3' jump and jumped over a puddle of water. We climbed up the hill. We cantered some more then another jump. I knew the hill went down here so i slowed him to a walk. I lent backwards and Riverman climbed down. That was the end of the course. I cooled him down. Then put him back in his stall. I gave him 2 carrots. I kissed him on the nose.
