Jump To It

This is such first world problems, but I haven't been riding as much as I'd like because:

-It's been really hot (for here)
-Bridget hates the heat and goes into angry tar pit dinosaur mode.
-Two horses really do create twice the barn chores, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! (Or maybe it's just my extra hyperactive baby pony making a ton of work for me? No clue. She legit eats and poops twice as much as Bridget and loves to smash stuff and play hard like a colt would. She's lucky she's cute!) 


Anyway, let's get to the point. After 6 weeks, it finally rained and Bridget was happy again. So, we jumped for the first time since winter, because why not?

Someone built a little course in the club arena. Bridget perked right up when she saw it, so I couldnt say no. I'm grateful to whoever took the time to set it up.
My eye for distance was mostly lost in the past, but the jumps were teeny and Bridget was happy to pack me around and suggest striding in the lines. I forgot how good she can be, she really does have the jumping thing down pat.
Whee!

  2. I actually believe two horses are more than double the work. Weird....I know.

    1. I'd agree. I keep thinking I just need to come up with a better routine and budget my time effectively, but nope..with two there is ALWAYS something extra and unexpected waiting for you to deal with.

  4. two horses = ten horses in my mind. Tate in his littleness is SO much more work than Remus even though Remus is a pig LOL.

    AND YAY JUMPS! Bridget looks great too!!

    1. She's gained weight again somehow...in her dirt paddock. Perhaps she can photosynthesize nutrients like a plant, idk. It's been really sunny lately, and I do give her all the water she wants, lol

  5. After 2 horses, a 3rd doesn't really make all that much more work. Just saying. Except if that 3rd horse is a mini who decides to test a whole lot of fence boundaries... Just saying. But beyond that? 3 does NOT equal more work than 2.

    But she looks SO HAPPY with the jumps! Yay! And she looks great too.
