fly!

Jumping lesson yesterday with Trudy - AWESOME.

Not because we were perfect, but because we DID struggle (too much back seat, not enough galloping), we got OVER it and then I found something I didn't have before.

the ability to adjust within 2 strides.

I don't mean just adjust her stride, THAT's easy. But to take us from completely fallen apart to put back together and ready to jump. Used to take us 6-8 strides. Now? two! Reflexes are QUICK now and I'm enjoying that, even with as little time as we've spent jumping as of late.

A totally exhausting lesson, but one very very much worth it :D

Congrats! What a good feeling. I'm fast shifting gears from envy to jealousy at not being able to jump!

Sounds like a good lesson! I really miss those super productive lessons, it always makes all the not so fun parts seem worth it.
