Today my regular horse was a bit lame, and while he was being treated, I still had my lesson. So instead I rode a very fun, large pony, and jumped 3’3″ for the first time! He was so great! We rode 3 fences, one stride apart, and then turned left and rode to the big fence! There was a pole in front of the jump to mark 3 strides, and that really helped us see where the 3 stride mark was, and encouraged us to count it approaching the fence. Well anyway, pony was a superstar and I got to take him around the track for a bit of a warm down afterwards so it was a great ride! A very fun day. 🙂
