As most of you know, Gody left last Friday to his new home in Crowsnest pass. He is now owned by a giggly 12 year old and I am happy for him. Rocky will likely leave on Thursday or Friday depending on the weather...it is going to seem strange without them both!
The tack sale is this Saturday from 11-3! Lots of good deals on riding clothes and tack. Hillside clients are welcome to shop early as I will have our stuff displayed first thing. If anyone is available to help with the sale from 11-11:30 that would be great too, as I will be teaching until 11:30. I am hoping to sell enough of the stuff we don't use to update some of the tack for the lesson horses. I already bought a new bridle for Zander that I am hoping will fit him better. Rocket would like a new light weight winter blanket and new halter, so lets hope we sell enough to cover his wish list.
Lessons this week will be short courses working on leaving the horse alone at the jump, while still controlling them for inside turns or lead changes over the fence. Turns will be trickier, and jumps will come up sooner...but I still want you to do less, and let the horse look after the jumps!
For flat work, we are doing a zig-zag leg yield: coming off the track, changing their flexion, and leg yielding back to the track. Really important you keep control of their shoulder for this to work, or the change of direction will be difficult! If posting, remain on the "normal" diagonal to come off the wall, then switch to the opposite diagonal to go back to the wall.
