I. Love. Jumping.

Okay, leg. Spur some, click to him. Okay, good trot, good trot. Up down, up down, sit, up down, up down. We can do this. We're good, we've done it before. It's not even big. And he could step over it if he wanted too. More leg. Shorten the reins...not too much, not too much, he needs some head. Up down, up down. Easy, easy, it's okay, we can do this. Around the barrel, get a good approach. Back straight, chin up, eyes forward. Up down, up down. Okay, down the middle. Down the middle. Pick my spot...that fence post. GOod, good, straight down the middle. Breathe, DON'T LOOK DOWN! Okay, over the pole, forward, MORE LEG...DEFY GRAVITY. Lean back, no, don't look down, don't look down, leg, LEG! Lean up, lean up...DEFY GRAVITY. Lean back, check his lead. Good, good, to the right. Ease back, less leg, stop. Back...one, two three. Stop. YES!

You gotta be focused to jump. ^_^

I'm going over 2'3'' on my BUMMER BOY now. My poor 23-year-old horse, who is rather westerny. And he's doing is SO WELL! And SO CUTE! *Clapclap of joy*

( Hehehehehe....(read: Nicole you prolly should not clicky) )

I have a show Saturday, which is kinda icky, but I just want to get this one over with, and the William Woods show, and I think we have one more...then the Fall Harvest Youth Show in November. Once that's over with, I can basically devote a lot more time to jumping. And a lot less showing. Which, okay, I don't hate, but I just don't like doing showmanship. *Shrug*

I guess I shall watch Ellen...*hops*

*Defies gravity*
