Short Post

We had our first jump lesson of the year today. Because our trainer is "ambitious", we did grids. Without reins.

And guess what?




We were amazing. <3 the old man horse.

    Cuba is awesome. My j@ck@$$ horse would have slammed on the brakes the second I dropped the reins.

    Nice!! Is there a reasoning behind the hand thing other than making you look badass?

      Our instructor calls it "climbing a rope". The idea is that it keeps you from using the reins while keeping your energy up and forward. If your hands are still, they tend to creep down/back and interfere with balance.
