2’6″ Benefit Hunters: 1st out of 15ish. If I were to change one thing, I would hold out my corner a little more after the diagonal line. Other than that, I felt really great in this course!
3′ Working Hunters: 1st out of 2 womp womp. I chipped in to the near outside line and didn’t close my leg enough, so we took a flyer out of there. I wish I had also sat back a little sooner in the diagonal line, but I’m very glad she woahed and waited for the six with me.
Yesterday was super hot and Addy has been working very hard lately, so we just walked around for a while, went on a little trail ride, and then had a brief little gallop in the grass. Beastly loves to run. Our barn is in Lake Placid this week for the show so no lessons, but I’m sure I’ll have plenty to report!

These are GREAT! While I don’t suggest that you go back to Hunterland (because I’m selfish and I’ll make a jumper out of you yet 😉 ) you and Addy are really solid doin’ the Hunter thang! Good job!

Are you going to Lake Placid? That’s my favorite horse show. I love the ski jumps in the background.

I’ll tell Vinny the course so you don’t have to steer.

Good plan. Follow up: can you call my course the way they do in dressage? You could just scream instructions from the ingate.

Go back and watch my videos from our jumper show. I will SCREAM instructions at you for every stride, just like my trainer does for me. It’s a great system.

My trainer and assistant trainer basically spend the whole time trying to remind me how to actually ride the darn horse. LOUDLY.
