Mr. Wonderful

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I swung into Wonder's saddle.The tall WB stallion shifted his weight underneath me & pawed at the ground.I gave him a light squeeze with my legs & he walked forward.After warming the bay American Warmblood up at a walk, trot & canter.I trotted him over some groundpoles a few times before squeezing him into a canter.I popped Wonder over a 1'-6" crossrail, then cantered him 4 strides to a 2 foot verticaal jump.Wonder sprung over the jump.I slowed him back to a walk.I walked him half a lap, then got him trotting again.I got him trotting at a good pace & trotted him into a gymnastics course.He stepped over the first groundpole, then I squeezed him into a canter & he hopped over a 1'-6" crossrail, then went over a 1'-9" vertical, cantered 2 strides, & then leaped over a 2'-6" oxer.I did that with a him a couple of more times, then I walked him over to one of the outdoor jumping arenas.a 2 foot hunter course was set up in there.I walked him a little, then cantered him in a courtesy circle & jumped him over the hunter course.The brave, 4 y/o stallion leaped over the small jumps.We didn't knock any rails.Then I cantered him over the hunter course in the other direction.Finally, I jumped him over a 2'-6" vertical, & walked him out.Then I untacked him & turned himout in his paddock.
