I was laaaazy!
But on the 13th we had a jumping training with Athena for Morten. She was...interesting. The warm up was almost nice. Couldn't use much leg on her since she was trying to run away from me a lot but at the same time she kept the collection pretty well when I plaied with the hand a little.
Jumping iself was so and so. At warm up crosses she was not so nice. Bounced a little vit too much and yeah. Then the first course I kept her really collected. So basically sat down extremely deep and gave her no freedom before the jump. She got kinda confused since it seemed I was not letting her jump but then in the right spot pushed her a little and over we went. I wouldn't say the jump itself was good but the tempo and her listening was pretty okey. Then the second course I let her loosen up a bit more. And then offcorse she took advantage of me a little and took off with extremely dangerous canter a few times. Before the double combination (1 stride between) I had to take her with the hand more forcefully otherwise we would probably have ended up in the middle of all the jumps. Then walked her a little and Morten did some gymnastical turns with us (S shape 3 jumps). First time she was okey and second time I had to get her even more sharper. So made the line a little bit more diagonal so the jump was not perfectly strait for us and turned a tiny bit with the legs allready while on the air. Was nice. Third time the same thing the opposite way. Athena tried to take off again for a second there.
14th was a dressgae training that was completely terrible. She didn't relax even for a moment and I have almost nothing to write about since there wasn't anything that worked. SO bad.
15th was the same almost though we were in the forest and the controllability was better thanks to belham bit but yeah still no relaxation so nothing to talk about :(
Today (the 17th) we tooka 150 minute dressage ride in the woods....(to be continued)
