More pictures, less words

Butterball and I returned to JT's on Saturday for a fun pop around the jumps again. With more media this time! Overall it was just a really delightful day. I work a ton of weekends, so the ones I'm off I usually spend with my husband (if I'm not at a horse show). But he was at CE all weekend, which meant I was free to pretend I was a teenager again and hang at the barn all day. 

Overall it was more of the same as earlier in the week, but we did add a bending line from an oxer to the skinny. We struggled with the line a bit. I just kept getting funny distances, but we ended up sorting it out, you can see it in the video. I also worked soooooo hard at keeping my hands down and forward and giving the poor perfect pony an actual release over the fences. It's a new feel for me (how embarrassing is that), but a good one. He was much appreciative of the release though. He was also more game through the grid this go round, with very few wiggles. 

How cool is this pony, ya'll??? We're doing a dressage lesson today and then are headed to Rocking Horse this weekend for our first recognized novice.
