Supposed to be a hot beginning to the week! Still planning to have jumping outside, but if it is too hot, we can warm up inside, and then come out just to jump. Either way, I recommend bringing a bottle of water to stay hydrated!
Going to work more on landing leads over jumps, and on canter to walk transitions.
Remember when trying to land a lead over a jump, you must have control of the horse's shoulder on the approach, so that they can push off squarely with both hinds and the jump. This makes it easier for them to switch leads in the air. Then, as they are taking off, the rider must look in the direction they wish to go on the land, open that rein, and put weight in the opposite stirrup.
Outside, I will have a jumper course set up so we can practice landing the lead with more obvious turns.
