Fall!

Last Saturday was our last jumping show of the season, with Java, Riley and Gody competing in the hunters. It was great weather and all the horses & riders did very well, for a nice finish to the year! Next weekend Laureen and I will be showing dressage to finish up the show year.

This week in lessons, we will have to resign ourselves to riding inside for jumping...just getting too dark and cool at night. Being indoors again means getting used to a smaller space again, so we will be working on riding correct and deep corners, while maintaining a nice, even rhythm.

Now that fall is here, fly sheets and fly masks can be put away for the winter, and rain sheets & winter blankets can come out of storage...maybe if we are ready for winter it will stay away longer!
