Breeze improving : flat + jumping

Breeze start working in a nice outline with a light even contact in the three paces :

 

We have started jumping in canter small jumps and she is improving quickly. These are extracts from the last three lessons:

 

Jack, 3-year-old gelding, thoroughbred

I am currently baking Jack for his owner. He's been a quick learner with the lunge work, he's improving evenly and we have started sitting on him and walk.

Sahara

Sahara is a 5-year-old mare, Irish sport horse. She is very green as she has been backed recently but is improving and should start a more advanced work very soon :

 

Macsence and Scruffy at work

Macsence is a lovely 12-year-old mare, who can be a bit stiff and above the bit. I ride her before teaching her owner with her, that helps to keep her more easily in a proper shape. They have both, horse and rider, improved a lot on the flat and jumping!

Scruffy is a 7-year-old pony, he's still green as he mainly hacked until now. I school him to help his young rider to keep him under control. They start being very confident in the three paces!

CIC* at Somerford Park with Junon

No video of the dressage, anyway it was a real underachievement which cost me to miss an other great place in CIC...
But a great show jumping, in a good rhythm as Junon like it, just a bit too bold in the triple. And an excellent cross country :)

Second jumping lesson for Breeze

We start with some pole work, Breeze is doing well and carefully. Then one cross :

And to finish we have a one stride double to teach her jumping in canter:

She had a few poles down but in the end as you can see she jumped really well for only a second time :)

CATTON PARK OPEN NOVICE 19/06/11

A good event with my mare, dressage could have been better but still ok, good show-jumping with one down ( a bit undeserved!) and good clear cross country. A good preparation for Hutton CIC*!
