What I've been up to
Aug. 20th, 2010 08:44 amTamarack HIll Farm adult Eventing camp. aka Camp Denny
This was my second year attending this camp. Last year, I somehow managed to have time to write about my daily experiences on the evening of the day they happened. Not so, this year. This year, it was get back to my lodging past 9 pm every night and collapse into bed. The really short form for this year was that camp was fun and just challenging enough. Having established a good working relationship with Sue since last year's camp, I was able to get affirmation that I'm going in the right direction despite my recent lack of lessons, and work on some much needed details that had been missing from the overall picture on the flat. As usual, Denny doesn't have much to say about my jumping except that I need to have more confidence. From that confidence will come better use of my leg toward the jumps. The theme with Denny is "go do it." Practice. Nervous for Show Jumping - go to Jumper shows. Nervous for Dressage - go to Dressage shows. Practice, Practice, Practice.
( the really long blow-by-blow )
