Darkness!

It's getting darker and darker now, I was at the stables really quickly after school and got Sophie ready quickly thanks to Chloes (not Solomou) help. She put up some jumps while I warmed up. I was lucky because I don't like to jump in the dark, so when it gets more winter I will have to jump in the weekends. I hate winter, it's dark and cold.

I jumped her higher then I ever have before, first I did a jump in trot and she jumped that pretty much without effort. I then put it higher and added another jump about the same hight and went over it in canter, I lost my balance alot and nearly fell off more then once while in the gap between the jumps. I need to learn how to count the strides, how to time when going into the jumping position, and to sit between jumps quickly for a few seconds. Thats alot to think about while holding her from sprinting to the jumps, holding the canter and lining her up for the jump.

I'm surprised people can think about all of that, I always say with everything that practise makes perfect.
