Oh gosh. Last night I rode her and we clicked! I figured out what I needed to do to get her to listen to me, and she saved me over a couple jumps.

Also, we jumped 3'6". One pole away from 4'!!! My trainer just kept raising the jumps haha. I accidentally buried her down a line (I rode for 5, she wanted 6, we ended up with 7??) and she jumped a big 3'6" vertical from like, UNDER the base. And cleared it. She's awesome.

I also accidentally jumped 3'6" with no stirrups. I lost one stirrup around the corner, couldn't get it back, and kicked off the other one so I wasn't unbalanced. Of course, we got a loong distance to that fence so I thought I was coming off, lol. Guess all of my time as a working student and hacking horses has paid off! My legs got strong!

*sigh* this horse is kind of amazing! So fun to ride and wow, can she jump!
