Green Jumpers

Today's topic:

Green horses! And how they jump. Not just that they jump, but HOW.
Bunny-hopping
Superman-style
overjumping
sliding to a halt AND THEN jumping
sideways jumping
twisting in the air
and the list goes on....

They really are good learning tools though, since working with my little Appendix gelding and his green-ness over fences (and lots of other things for that matter) I have a much better appreciation for my tried-and-true buddy who I can ride *without* holding my breath over the jump.
The Appendix gelding is much better now, I assure you, but after 2 months off some days it feels like we're back to square one.

Go Jumping!
