WW: XC Schooling at Morgan Equine

we did two stadium jumps with my other two barn mates before ditching them
and starting on xc on our own

bobby thought this was an excellent plan. he was so happy to be out doing the jumpies

this "venue" hosts one jumper derby type event a year. i don't think most of these
jumps were flagged for what they actually were--they were there more for keeping
it between the flags. 

some of these funky in quality as i tried to manipulate them past some of the blurriness
hubby occasionally got.

my leg is just doing its own thing here, nbd. 

bobby loves up banks

not so much down banks. i don't know if his feeties hurt from jumping down, or
he just didn't remember how to do them. once i got off and worked him for the ground
for a minute or two he was confidently stepping off again. we didn't mess with these
for long though. 

is there a way not to have a double chin jumping down banks? not if you're me!
i also like how bobby is calmly popping down and i'm like, DEATH IS NEAR. 

totally biffed the distance the first time to this as seen by my face

interpretive jump form, it's how we roll. 

he jumped this with his front end then tried to twist and run out with his hind end
and slid in the grass. two seconds later he'd finished falling onto his side and i was standing
over him like, "really, bro?" he was completely fine and was up immediately no worse for wear.

right after the above fall. clearly nobody was fazed by it. 

dude does love his water

ditches are boring

proof we can jump out of the water normally

bobby was done with our shenanigans. also it was hot and blowing in actual tornadoes. 

Bobby got new feet Monday which I'll write about later. I still haven't started him on the prednisone as I'm just not comfortable with the idea of it. Yet. I might change my mind, I don't know. But that's also a post for another day. For now I'm just glad I got to have some fun with my moose, and I'm super thankful for my BM who trucked us for free so that I could go!
