home, after more riding in VT

[goddessfarmer]

Got another private lesson with Denny today. I got to go jump some cross country jumps. I suppose it's a good thing that I only did each jump once. That means they were all good to Denny standards. I have to say, between yesterday and today, I almost feel like I'm riding as well as when I was 16. I feel that solid. My leg is there. My eye for a jump is where it belongs. My balance is good. We did a drop fence today, the jump itself was maybe 2'6", but then so was the drop on the other side. I kept my feet under me, my body back, and I landed and went forward from that all in perfect balance. We also did a ditch, 3 strides to jump, and then back. It seems that I don't worry too much about ditches anymore. I know how to do this. My body knows how to do this. Yes, this is a major bit of squee. Skippy rocks my world.
