Whhhhheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Today was an awesome lesson. Arwen was being great (with the exception of refusing at one jump that was totally my bad) so trainer had us go through the grid set up in the arena. Four jumps, all one strides. Started with some cross rails and small verticals. Arwen was getting a little quick through them, I think totally unimpressed with the height. So trainer started raising and raising them. I just kept plunking through because in a grid, all you really have to do is get a decent in and then keep leg on and go straight (or, close eyes and pray). Well...I knew they were higher than normal because Arwen was actually jumping them. I'm pretty sure I went through the last time with a big grin on my face. When I was done, I had to ask "so how high are those?". Turns out they were like 3'5"!! Go me and Arwen!!
