This week in lessons

This week in lessons we will be focused on avoiding mosquitos!

I really want to be able to jump outside, but making the horses stand around between rounds seems unfair given the insane amount of insects.

We CAN warm-up outside for the lessons that want to, but we will again come in to jump.

Lessons will include some spookier jumps and some inside turns. We will work on seeing how short we can make the turn, while still keeping the turn wide enough so that the horse has time to see and adjust for the fence.

We are also going to work on using our eyes in the AIR, not just on the land. This seems to be an issue for a few riders, and looking while in the air can really aid with landing the leads and making turns.
