Today Debi Hornbaker and Sable picked us up to join in on a jumping lesson at Debi Crowleys Place. Except for trotting over our cavalettis Heart had never had a jumping lesson, so I was pretty excited about everything - what my big baby would think about the colorful poles and if he would get his feet sorted out.
Heart was great! He was full of energy. I think he likes this way more than the dull dressage arena ;) He did look at everything twice and and the first few crosses he almost came to a stop before jumping them and it will be some work until we go over the jumps smoothly, but for a first time lesson he was absolute fantastic! He's such a good boy and tries really hard to do everything right.
Debi gave us a very good lesson and I'm really looking forward to our next one... even though it is something to get used to having lessons at 96 Farenheit (35.5 Celsius)... maybe I should be glad we didn't have the lesson yesterday at a 100 Fahrenheit (37.7 Celsius) LOL. I also hope to find a jumping saddle that fits Heart soon, so I don't have to go on jumping in our dressage saddle.
