This week in jumping lessons will be similar to last week as it appears we need to practice learning and riding a course a little more! This week I will post the courses in the arena as well as in the barn for those of you who need more time to figure it out.
The course will again be of a hunter type, but slightly different, and we will again school it tiny to practice the pattern before making them actual jumps.
The key is to look for logical patterns in the course, so you can think through which is the next jump even if you go blank part way through! Good hints as to if you are going the right way is if the jump is set to be jumped that way (ground line on the approach side) and if the turn makes sense for a hunter course (such as not a hair pin turn!).
I also want to continue with the circle to start and finish so that the course has a nice start and finish to frame it.
For dressage lessons, we will continue to work on counter bend, with it moving on to the next progression of working on counter canter.
