Woooot!

Just had to post today.

So, at the advice of my very good friend and trainer of years gone by... I stopped with the drill sergeant attitude and did what the hell I wanted today.  :)

I sang at the top of my lungs the whole car ride, and when I got up to the barn, there just so happened to be some jumps set up... so guess what.  Me and Moe had our very first jumping session!  He was so brave and hilarious... totally took everything straight on with no running sideways or silliness, trotted over poles like a champ (while in a frame, mind you), and I was having so much fun, I forgot to worry about making left hand turns.  Apparently I made a few, however, since there were marks on the ground... :)

All in all, I jumped my pony, I cantered my pony, and had a freaking blast.  And he did too.  His little ears perked up so high, and when we were passing by the jumps, he would get all jiggily like he wanted to go back over them... so awesome today.  Nothing pretty - they were only about 12" off the ground so he really just trotted over them every time - but it was still SO much fun.

I havent had a fun day like that in months it seems.  We both really needed that.

And yes.  I wore my helmet.  :)
