at the arena

Me and Nick took Taani and Amy for some SJ practice at the arena today, since we have our next ODE next sunday.

I rode Amy first and Perf came to give me some help and advise etc. We started off doing circle work to slow down Amy's jumping and get us working together, then we did a mixture of tricky jumps (corner, fake water, fillers) and a grid of a bounce and two one strides.

Amy started off jumping the fake water ok, but ended up deciding there was no way she was going back near it and i landed very ungracefully at times over her neck and once on the ground.

She jumped all the rest a few refusals here and there but by the looks of it a lot of our probs stem from bad rider LOL.

We got some vids of our work so i can see what needs improving.

And Taani had her debut in her many years off, fat belly and all we really have to work on that belly.

She jumped all the jumps really well, i was very happy. She always used to have a bad time jumping so

to see herself out enjoying it was the best.
