Had a fun quick ride last night at sundown. Just grabbed Jordan and hopped on to show Maria our jumping skills. Took 6-8 jumps in either direction and cantered over the double jumps once. Maria said we looked great! He is a pleasure to jump.
Today I missed riding early and then it rained. Finally did a quick ride at 7:00 pm. Tried the double bridle for the first time and it went well. We have worked the double in-hand about 6 times so far and he has been getting progressively better with it. Today's ride with the double was impressive--he halted with a steady head and didn't fuss too much over the curb. He is accepting the curb nicely and his flexion at the poll was noticeably increased. Just walk-trot and some lateral work.
