Day 3 began, continuing the young horses we started the day before in the jumping chute. All of the horses came out the next day ready and willing to continue with what they had learned yesterday. We started a new horse in the chute (the chestnut in the video). He was a two year old and took very well to the idea of the chute. We also brought out a four year old stud named Gizmo. (I though that was the CUTEST name ever!) Gizmo is the small black horse in the video.
After free jumping the horses we began our afternoon lesson. Linda Allen instructed the lesson and worked on a simple grid with all the horses and riders. This grid was excellent to teach the rider to sit there and let the horse find its way through the grid and sometimes make their own mistakes.
Willow, Linda's adorable puppy and I sat ring side and watched the lesson on Thursday.
Day 4, On the way!! :)
