We did all the jumps a few times at the trot, and then cante… Continue

Lately I have been working on the same things as usual(keeping Trooper straight and not tilted, keeping my hands together, etc.). We went on a hunt course and it was really fun!We jumped over logs and boards(wood) we set up around the trails. Today(Nov. 10) i worked Trooper, then caught Flint(2 yr old FQH gelding) and longed him, who was very well behaved.
