this week in lessons

This week in lessons I am hoping to teach all classes outside! Thursday and Saturday seem iffy though, but fingers crossed. It has been nice so far, and the horses seem happy to be in the larger ring and fresh air!

I kept the course simple with no related distances as I expected more naughtiness, but the horses so far seem to be staying focused. We have a serpentine to trot and then jump, and a simple course. Keeping the horses and riders turning and bending was meant to help keep the horses from getting stiff and strong, and to keep their focus on the exercise rather than giving them time to look around the countryside.
