JUMP NITE at Wild Run Farm Lyman

WOW WOW WOW !!!

so much learned in short period of time
I think WHY DIDNT WE COME SOONER?
Well because... they have only had jumping lessons for what a month now?
With rain all summer most lessons were cancelled... and we had been working on dressage patterns
Then we started jumping after the BIG LET DOWN with Kaitlyns first dressage show because the judge was less than impressed with her efforts. I have yet to write a letter expressing my thoughts to the SMDA on that one! Judges need to know to edify the good in a nicer way & think about what they say and how they should say it before the damage is done after the fact! That NOT ONLY applies to these youngsters but to adult newbies trying to make their way in the dressage or show arena.... but that GRIPE is for another day.

Lets look at some of these shots shall we?

Baby ... LOOKING GOOD!

ALL GROWN UP ...

& having fun!!!!!

Misty took quite a leap of faith there!

But look at those heels down! NICE JOB! .... & hands placed firmly where they need to be supporting horse and rider... :) LUV IT~!

Looking at next jump where one needs to be... as their horse doesnt know right?

WOO HOOOOOO MISSY BOO! ... Look at that expression!

SHE IS HAVING FUN NOW!

... see when the rider is having fun... the horse follows!

Kaitlyn very intent expression !!!!!

Concentrating... excellent!

NICE TUCK BREEZE!

OOOOOOOOO... mY FaV pic... look at breezy go!

ummmm heels down right?

Candace telling Kaitlyn to keep her eyes up and look onward and forward because Breeze kept refusing jumps... WHY?

BECAUSE Katie kept looking down... so the horse looks down and says "WHAT!!!! ... yikes"

There! MUCH BETTER!

Love it when a plan comes together~!

So we will be doing jumper nite I think every week now until the ground freezes and that will do us all some good and we can learn alot from doing a dozen jump course consistently every time!

The horse may even stop asking why :)
