Todays lessonn...

So i rode Smartie :) She was really good and i felt i rode quite decently, even though i fell off...

So ermm, we started of by doing some cantering, trotting just warming up and then i took my stirupps away. Cantered with no stirrups and jumped a little cross pole without them. Then i took my stirrups back as she was being a bit bouncy and excitable and we jumped higher.

It's very hard to jump Smartie in half of the arena as sometimes she jumps it fine then other times she takes of miles away or gets right underneath it.

The higest jump was about 3ft6 as a spread and she jumped it nice a couple of times and the other times she got underneath it and the other time i fell off, basically what happened is she got REALLY underneath it and pinged upwards, literally, i ovbs. didn't go with this and i flew up in the air and banged back down slipped f the side and landed funnily on my arm :S Im alright but my arm hurts a little.

Got back on and jumped a little spread :)
