Baby Deuce grows up

This is my riding journal. It is meant to help document the
training of my young horse Deuce. I'm teaching him all about dressage,
but he teaches me so much too!

Sunday Funday

I just wanted a nice fun ride today so after we warmed up I decided to jump over a cross rail. I think it was only about 18 inches high but I had Deuce canter over it for the first time. We did it in both directions and practiced getting the correct lead off the jump. It was a lot of fun!

It makes me want to do some hunter jumper stuff so I may take a few lessons with the hunter jumper trainer at my barn. I think Deuce likes to jump and it would be a shame not to do some fun jump courses with him!

He'll get Monday and probably Tuesday off and then we will work on collecting his canter and really pushing him into a soft, round frame. I will also try shoulder in again to see how he does. Should be fun! :)
