Kentucky Part Five: Cross Country Pro Pics

Alright, even I'll admit this is getting a little excessive... but the posts already seemed so long as it was... we're close to the end, just one more summing up/informational post to come next week. 

4AB was a 5 stride bending line

So focused! 

Popping right out over 4B after a direct 5 stride line

8 was this slightly skinny roll top on a slight downhill, followed by a left hand turn to the half coffin at 9AB around some bushes. The B element was slightly angled right from the ditch at A. I asked him to wait to the base of 8 so he didn't go careening off and have to make a wide left turn which would put us angled the exact opposite direction we needed to be for the half coffin. 

Left hand turn 

I thought the ditch rode a little funny... carry on to see why it felt that way 

WHEEEE

Grabbing mane would've been good, I'm sorry bud!

9B - Good boy! 

14- Hello large table on a downhill approach, but again, I asked him to rebalance and he did! GOOD BOY!!!

My new fave picture - the last fence! 

WHY is he so cute?!?!
