Worked on a little .70s course with the green pony today. She was excellent, getting all the distances and being scopey. The only trouble she had was coming to an oxer, which, while she has done previously, is a bit wary of them. I rode her up to it, she refused, I let her look at it a bit, then rode around, and she jumped it just fine. Then, there was a single vertical with a diagonal rail beneath it. She was also wary of this, but she also needed the bathroom, and after that she jumped it too. Very pleased with her progress, she is also learning her lead changes. 🙂
