He was a good boy on the water (behind the hillock?), but I couldn't quite pick out the ditch (half-way, behind the small logs jump?) and the bank (towards the end, where you circled around to the right?)...<br />(p.s.

They even shared lunch and the lunch box with him!<br />KK<br />PS<br />Well, answering your Trail trial question : I want time to school-on-the-spot with the weirdo obstacles...but they did not allow it at that event.allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916035653282070937.post-88234582785644108892010-07-18T13:41:00.370-07:002010-07-18T13:41:00.370-07:00What did your jump instructor say about it?

He's ...Yeah Pru, he was flailing around a bit. He's still at the stage where he's building muscle and learning to balance and when he gets off balance he uses speed to compensate. The footing was really, really deep on the outside of the ring as well.<br /><br />I know he needs to collect more, and he will attempt it if I ask. The problem is that when I attempt to collect and hold him to the base of a fence the timing is off every single time and sometimes he crashes through them. When I collect in the corners and just let him chose his own pace he usually gets over everything and often out of stride.<br /><br />I feel like my eye has to get way, way better before I start choosing distances. What to do?Albigearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705231641878762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916035653282070937.post-8935458435161523642010-07-18T11:33:00.024-07:002010-07-18T11:33:00.024-07:00Very good confidence building for him - he seems l...Very good confidence building for him - he seems like a real trier!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916035653282070937.post-86906234892482099312010-07-18T11:18:02.200-07:002010-07-18T11:18:02.200-07:00Wait, no dressage??!!

I think you g...Wait, no dressage??!! My kinda show!<br />I think you guys did great! I did notice that in the stadium round you were more relaxed and that seemed to make jasper more relaxed. He got more of his leads and spots. <br />i remember you asking me about my spots for jumping...idea...try to collect Jasper more while you are doing your course. He was a bit stretched out, losing impulsion and it seemed like you didn't have as much control of his hind end...does that make sense? Maybe if you could collect him a bit he would push from his hind and you would be able to control stirdes better. I hope I am making sense. If not, hit me up on FB and I will try to explain my thought. lol<br />Either way...still jealous of you both :)PruSkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543472406438284662noreply@blogger.com
