but Bobbie likes to jump. In my wisdom I decided to teach her to jump today. Probably not my wisest idea as I struggle with standing long enough to lunge properly, but I've started painting my carriage so cant use it at the minute and thought I'd better exercise her. I didnt think she would think much of my latest idea but she loved it. I tend to still think of her as the lazy, chubby pony I bought, but actually shes pretty forward thinking now.
Headcollar and loose lunge line with me trailing round after her, and we went from trotting poles to 2ft6 in about 6 goes, and she really enjoyed it. I'm regretting selling her saddle now as I have tons of people clamouring to ride her. Watching her today even I wanted to ride again and I said I was done with riding forever! She is the most genuine, willing little horse. I've never had one that makes everything this easy before and its been a revelation!
