I had a productive jump school yesterday, in which I jumped a baby X a couple of times (the first few times with my eyes closed = my favorite), then went through a small grid, then the small grid to a stone wall. After we jumped in the ring, I went up to re-familiarize Tim with some of the XC jumps. He can be such a freak about them at first - he's pretty convinced that every natural looking jump is going to eat him. Super comforting behavior from a seasoned event horse...not! Luckily I had my mean girl pants on and refused to take any of his shit. Once I convinced him to jump politely, without throwing himself up in the air, we called it a day.
Tuesday - training ride from BA dressage trainer
Wednesday - jump (?) lesson with Dorothy Crowell
Thursday - dressage lesson with same BA trainer
Friday - head to Octoberfest! Maybe school at KHP depending on time
The weather is supposed to be absolutely PERFECT this weekend, so fingers crossed it stays that way! Considering how crappy it has been recently, I don't have high hopes.
