| Third Lesson: I JUMPED!!!
(Okay, so it was on the lowest setting, but it still counts.) This
is Peppy, a sweet and patient Paint. So far, we've been working on
trotting and posting, a little bit of cantering, and with this
lesson - we worked on learning to jump. |
Ingrid,
Diane's daughter, is training me right now. (Diane is the owner of
Tally-Ho Farm.) She is a wonderful rider and is a very good trainer.
She will be teaching me the basics and once I'm okay there, I'll be
working with Diane. They specialize in training for 3-Day Eventing.
Eventing is a combination of 1) Dressage, 2) Cross-Country Jumping,
and 3) Stadium Jumping. (Before we get into all of that
though, I'm learning how to stay on the horse...which I think will
be a good thing.) |
