This week in lessons

So this weeks lesson plan was supposed to be designed by Nicole, who was all excited to get to dictate the jumping course and plan for this week...but then she forgot. So I tried to come up with a pattern for the advanced classes that would be more challenging for her than for others, but she and her horse did very well indeed, so my plan failed... Advanced lessons are going to work over a course which required focus and straightness to get to the correct jump. We are also doing a little bit of leg yielding. Introductory jumping lessons are going to work a bit on two-point and crest releases; reinforcing that hands must be beside the neck and not in hover land. Hopefully people can actually make lessons tomorrow though...I hear the snow is on its way back! Karen
