Jumping with no hands


On pony club we had our fewest amount of girls which were Me, Honor, Grace, Alexandra, Geffin, and Abigail so we thought we would do some harder, but fun stuff at the arena. First while we were on the trail riding over to the arena we forgot to get a helmet for Geffin so I galloped back to the plumtree jumped off grabbed a helmet and galloped back to the group. Then we got to the arena and Sonnet, as usual, was hott so I did double the size of the highest cavalety with no hands bareback. It was a lot of fun and even Grace got on with me and we cantered around double on Sonnet. After that Sonnet was being so good that we decided to let little Geffin come on with me and canter and do little jumps. It was so much fun and Alexandra, Honor, and I all jumped at the same time and got a picture of it, thanks to Nedra. Also little Abigail got on Poe and trotted around the arena for the first time with Grace leading her. We all had a blast, but we also missed the girls that couldn't make it this week. The most exciting part of the day was either jumping with no hands or feeding the baby carrots for the first time, which was a lot of hard work but also very rewarding when we found out she loved them!! We all can't wait for next week and to have an even bigger group!
