It's been so nice to ride a horse that makes me feel confident and comfortable.

We did the HCIB hunter pace (Aug 27) and took second in Low Optimum while jumping all the jumps with authority, even the ones that were downhill or uphill or somewhat scary. And I was all happy about that until my long-distance enthusiasm coach expressed surprise that we were still doing the 2' to 2'6" fences instead of maybe trying the 3' fences. I had to fess up that I hadn't ever tried 3' fences on the horse. And she was like "Whyever not?"<br /><br />I didn't feel like admitting to sheer terror as a limiting factor, so this weekend I built myself a little grid with poles and a one-stride combo and I started raising up the second element of the one-stride. Turns out da Bird does not blink at 3' while happily bopping over it and if I couldn't see the fence, I'd think it was a 2'6" fence because it feels identical. I've made a note and we will revisit this topic as appropriate through the fall season.which_chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944558109074440312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-72075130419700848562017-09-05T08:44:58.214-07:002017-09-05T08:44:58.214-07:00Yay Charles!
