Lessons for this week

Jumping lessons will work on a simple hunter course: starting small, then actual jumps.

We will then convert the horse to a basic jumper course if time allows. Again starting small, then actual jumps. Trying to incorporate roll backs before and after the jumps like we worked on last week.

This is in preparation for the MLM show next Saturday...let me know if you want to go! There are 2 trailer spots available.

Flat/Dressage lessons this week will work developing a hand that is independent from the seat and from the eye. A few of you have a silly/unproductive habit of looking down when doing transitions and such! It is important that you can adjust your seat forward or back, without your hand moving as well. Or move your hand without your seat moving.

Neck straps or hooking a finger in the mane may be useful for this lesson/skill set.
