We are going for a lesson on Friday. Not sure if we are going to jump since I have decided to send her out for the month of August. This was a very hard decision, but I really need some polishing. She needs to be forward to the aids and leg yields are shoulder leading. Since she has never had formal training, it will be interesting to see how bad or good she'll be. I'm sure I've created many of her issues. The best part is that she'll be part of a jumping program and it includes one trip to a horse park. I will also get one or two lessons a week.
At home I've only been working on small planks, poles and X's. Pole work has been great. I set them about 45' apart and work on 3 strides, 4's and then 5's back to 3's. She's flat w/ the 3's but at least she's willing to give it to me. Now, I'm working on canter to walk and about a million trot to walk transitions w/ a couple of halts. We actually had a clean change last week! Since she's going out, I have put shows on the back burner.
Can't wait for the Olympics!
