Here's a photo for each jump on the 2011 Novice course at Hunter's Run (Metamora, Michigan)
 |
| The view from the start box |
 |
| Simple log, great starter fly fence |
 |
| at the top of small hill, easy to ride |
 |
| Angled slightly, right off a left turn. Teeny bit of a challenge |
 |
| Wide jump, and then BIG hill down after landing |
 |
| At the bottom of the huge hill, testing the horse's balance/rythm after a gallop |
 |
| At the top of a big hill, impulsion was important in this one |
 |
| Small bank up, very nice to ride |
 |
| Into the water for #8, very wide opening and dyed blue water |
 |
| log out of the water, on the small side |
 |
| Log oxer, great ride |
 |
| The ground here is severely slanted to the right |
 |
| Slightly tight 2-stride, must be ridden carefully but hard to really screw up |
 |
| Brush fence- looks bigger but rides super well |
 |
| Trakahner(sp?), nice breather for horse and rider |
 |
| Ditch to Coop combination |
 |
| The ditch, about 2'6" wide and deep. |
 |
The coop, a forward 5 strides on a straight line, conservative 6,
7 if you really take your time on the curve . I rode it in 5 |
 |
| To the right! |
 |
| Down the hill |
 |
| Little logs, and then a good long gallop to the last |
 |
| Last jump- you can see the finish flag in the background |
