This weekend, the Eh Capa riders had an opportunity to sign up for an optional jump clinic with an amazing instructor. Sidney has never jumped before, so she was both excited and nervous to jump. She used Mercy for the clinic, as she wanted to have a horse that knew how to jump so she could focus on what she was supposed to do.
I could not believe how awesome she was, really all the riders did amazing. Here is a video of one of her final jumps. It definitely takes a lot of bravery to do this. I will point out, they are not in a saddle. The horses do not have a bit or a bridle.
The class before her was made up of advanced riders. It was great to watch them. They were jumping some very high jumps, but it was good to see that even they had to work through nerves and issues. One of the riders was trying to keep her horse going straight after the last jump. The horse kept wanting to make a sharp left turn. The rider came off the horse 3 or 4 times. It was important for the new riders to see that even the amazing riders continuously learn and improve.
I am not sure where it came from, but this girl is addicted! If only she would stop stealing my favorite bootcut jeans.
