Rode Brisco again :) did some gymnastics. Four fences at 2'3"... first two made up a bounce, then 1 stride to a vertical, 1 stride to another vertical. I am *finally* learning to use my legs, and now I am *so* sore! haha... then I hopped on Rudy for a bit and did some flat work so Emily H. could get in some good lines with Brisco. Then we switched back and took off our saddles and did some walk,trot,canter work bareback! It was *so* fun! If only this barn wasn't 45 minutes away :(
Rob told me I had awesome, quiet hands, and more courage than he would have... seeing as it's only my 5th time ever jumping and Emily and I kept up with the two other riders who have been jumping for quite some time... All in all a great day!
Sweet. I want to jump *so* bad. Pixie is a born jumper, yet I doubt I will learn. In the spring I will get my own horse, and not see Pixie much. Then I am hoping Katherine, (the lady who owns and cares for Pixie on her small farm) will still teach me. I am still working on strengthening my legs. I need all the legs I can get on this pony.

You should! I actually just started jumping but i am in <3! :D yes, do leg strengthening exercises... I mean, if you ride everyday you won't have as much of a problem as I do as I only ride every 9ish days :/
