So happy that Freddie's back has fully recovered. Fingers crossed for my horse's sacroiliac issue. So keen to watch that I'm watching this on my phone because I have a family member visiting.
What a great day to have a jump lesson!!! You looked like you were having fun!! Which I'm so chuffed to see!! And Freddie looked raring to go!!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦 PS I took one of the stallion brothers to his first show this past Saturday. We did 2 classes of 1 m 05 , and he never touched a rail in either class!! Out of 52 horses, at his first show, he came 4th overall !! We had ppl stopping by afterward, while his owners were there, telling them what a gem he was and what a "stunning looking "gelding" they had!! They were stunned to learn he was a stallion!!! Not once did he call out to any of mares in season, not once did he blow hinself up, he was a perfect gentleman!! I trailered him to shows, along with his half brother, another stud, to shows, for the last 2 years. I'd pay entrance fees for the shows, but withdraw as soon as we arrived, but I'd tack up, then ride them around the show grounds, getting them used to the sights and smells and ride them around. Then, if they started to act up, act like a stud in any way, I'd say, That'll do, with a slight growl in my voice, but with a light contact on their mouth. They go in a low port Mylar bit. It works for them. And when they would relax, we'd walk on. But, next weekend, on Saturday, it's his brothers first show. So we'll see how that goes!! You did well. Keep that in mind. At least you are trying!! Keep trying. It'll all work out. Just remember the rules. 1 Breathe and 2. HAVE FUN and 3. See 1 & 2!!!

What a fantastic lesson Danielle!! I actually watched it the whole way through which is unlike me - will have to talk to you about it when I see you! Well done for putting on your brave pants!
