Intrepid jumpers

Last week at the barn, we had a special jumping session to introduce the horses to some of the crazy things you might come across with jumps. Sylvana and Tara came up with some crazy, amazing jump “enhancements.” Okay, most of the time you probably won’t be asked to jump stuff animals or comforters. We had our three six year olds: Kasane, Sylvana’s Renegade, and Tara’s Rooster. Kasane was the smallest of the group, at only 15.1 HH, but she was so brave.

The first session was all in-hand. Kasane willingly approached every jump and carefully checking it out. She then walked over it. I was so proud of her.
