Welp.
Well, at least we didn’t knock a rail.
The photo is a little dark, so in case you can’t quite see it, that is me and Dot, jumping an 18” cross-rail at over 2’9”. 🤦♀️
We got one day of glorious footing, and we were finally able to jump outside for the first time in months! As you can tell, Dot was thrilled.
We had already jumped this cross-rail twice at the height it was actually supposed to be, but something was different this time. 😅
I don’t THINK I asked for the extra height, and she definitely left long, but that normally just results in a long jump at the right height. You can’t really tell, but we are directly over the middle, so it’s not like we jumped the high side.. lol
My trainer is standing about 10 feet away from us and her body posture is just… wow. After we finished our course, she burst out laughing and asked how high I thought the yellow and purple was. I answered 18”, and she said not for Dot, she jumped it at 2’9”!! Well, now we know how high Miss Dot can go 😂😂
The rest of our lesson was great and fairly on-point. She definitely was throwing herself into the jumps with a little more drama than usual, though 🤣 just a bit of semi-cross firing that led to an unexpected trot circle and just being a silly sassy jumper pony!
