Great Lesson!

We have added more Alfalfa to the diet.  I have noticed a more reactive attitude toward horse eating objects.  I really don't know if a diet change could help Ivy jump more forward, but the last two jump lessons have been perfect.  Last week we asked for changes in the corners and she gave them to me.  Today we added the scary purple wall and barrels.  During the warm up she bolted from the shadow bird. 
We approached the barrels at a walk to check them out, but Ivy decided to trot over them.  I was shocked at her willingness.  The purple wall has always been an eye popper for her.  I walked her up to it and she sniffed it. I then trotted right up to it, kept my eyes up, sat the trot to the base and she popped over.  I am so happy and can't believe she has been so willing.
The scary purple wall!
