Next week, we will start cantering in the ring, and working over ground poles. Once that is mastered, we will begin jumping. We also plan to trailer to a local cross country facility just for fun. I think Harley will love cantering around the field and maybe even try a couple little jumps.
It's been a challenging 2 1/2 years, but so worth it. I've learned more in that time, than in the 40 years before that I've ridden, trained, bred and shown horses. I've learned more from my trainer just by watching and video-taping lessons and clinics, than I ever imagined. That makes it so much easier to apply the principles when riding, when I've actually seen it done.
Here is my beautiful boy, after a nice haircut and shave ;)
