so as i have no events till the 6th, i thought i would work on our accuracy and jumping skinnys, in preparation for novice eventing
actually we have no problem usually as there are flags on, but i thought it would be good to work on it
plus merlin and i get bored after lots of flatwork
so we thought we would do something different
this is a row of 3 single barrels, 1 stride inbetween each, up the centre line of the arena. i also had 2 barrels together to warm up over, and a single barrel to practice before doing the line
have to say it was much more difficult than i thought - the barrels are about 2 foot wide (if that
) but after a few goes we got it right and merlin jumped them straight
tommorrow we are going to try 4 barrels in a line with 1 stride in between...
sorry for self indulgent post - i just thought it was very difficult for us as we have only done PN
