this week in lessons

This week in lessons I am hoping we can ride outside...I wonder if rocket will be able to handle it? The mosquitoes aren't quite as bad as they have been.

We are going to work on transitions on the flat, and adding strides in lines for jumping...we will see who can do the least strides in a line while still making the one stride leading up to the line. This will also help rider's work on counting strides and developing an eye.

Remember that when trying to add strides, you want to shorten early so the last stride before the jump can be a little more flowing...you don't want to pull them to the base.
