I was able to go to a cross country clinic today. I have been trying to get to one all summer but things just keep coming up and just never made it. So today DH and I loaded up Sass and made the 1 hr drive in the rain to a lovely farm to go and play out in the fields. Of course I was in the very first group to ride so we where up extra early to be there on time and ready to go. DH was so kind to bring the camrea and take photos of our group. I am only posting of me and my guy out of respect for the other riders. We all had a great time and the day turned out nice even though it was raining when we started.![]() ![]() This log was going up hill, first jumped going up and then turned around and jumped going down. ![]() First the log. ![]() Then the vertical beside. ![]() A little talk with my coach. ![]() And then the fun stuff at the end of our ride. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was so happy with him as it was his first time ever at this place and at a farm that is set up with jumps all over the place. I had done a little bit of x-country lasy year on the farm that we where renting but I only had about 6 jumps that I could use. I am just over the moon with how good he was. Other then the little bit of jumping we did last Friday we haven't jumped since last summer.

It was great, he was very good, there where a few times that he didn't want to stand around waiting but on the most part he was so good. He went away from the other horses just fine and didn't pull to go back to them when we where done the fence. Funny that 2 months ago I was asking for a kick in the ass to get out and ride him. I am still working on things in myself that is making it hard for him to move forward but little by little we are getting there. I think this day will do wonders for us I feel more confident in him which will give him more confidents. I am still on but man do my legs hurt.
