Jumping across the Valley

We boxed Max and took a little trip to one of our neighbours across the valley. I can see their house from the end of our one field but it’s a 20 minute drive – but worth every minute. 

I met Megan at Jenna’s place where she had set up an awesome little course! While warming up we did have a little bit of spice, only a slight buck but Max settled down within minutes. We took it nice and slow, one jump at a time and flew perfectly over each one until we came to the oxer. Max decided to do his little ducking trick, not once but twice! 

Shortening the reins and using the legs, anticipating Max’s moves, we got over the oxer! And then we did our first full course – 9 jumps! I cannot described the high I was on when we were done, I don’t think I stopped buzzing for days!
