"Very nice." Gena walked up and made it a 2 foot verticle. She lifted her hand and motioned for them to go over it.

(It is a bounce, not a single ) Gena nodded, "That was good." She set up a small course of two and a half foot jumps. It was outside, diagnal, outside, diagnal. "Okay you girls do the course on at a time and keep the canter throughout it."

"Should be just do the outside and diagonal jumps or the outside and diagonal and then bounce?"I said trying to keep Chester standing

"You can go first if you like then i'll follow you" I said smiling and then all of a sudden Chester went into canter and i pulled the reigns back to stop him going over the jumps and brought him back to a walk and went to the others "Sorry it's just Chesters rareing to go"

"I'll go quickly then," Erin asked Appl for a canter they went over the first outside jump. She then turned Apple towards the first diaganal. He leaped over it. She then looked towards the next outside jump. Apple hopped over it. They turned up the the last jump and Apple raced towards it. He jumped twice as high as the jump. Erin brought him back to trot followed by a walk.

Gena nodded, "I know your horses will become a bit faster over these jumps but really sit deep in the saddle and hold them back. Try halfhalts and work on keeping them on the bit. If they are on the bit then they will pretty much let you tell them completely what to do."
