riding, because I love my horse.

It turns out that Skip really, really likes to jump. The higher the better. Today was a 3'9" vertical, and a little practice on flying changes. In between jumping we do a bit of lateral work, and lengthening and shorting of stride within gaits. He's got a really fabulous trot lengthening. I really think my horse likes the feel of his own power. Something that has really 'clicked' with him recently is the stretch down. I can finally get him to chew the reins down to his fetlocks at the trot. I am very happy.
