Activity #2

Today I had a private horse riding lesson in preparation for this weekend's jumping competition.
We worked on mainly two faults:
1. My horse puts too much weight onto his bit, thus not being alert and isn't fully responsive.
2. I should sit back and wait more so that I take the initiative for when he takes off before a jump, which should be closer to the jump than when he judges the distances himself.
We did tight turns on two 'lignes courbes' of jumps, which required him to do the two points above, so that he can change leg properly on each jump. I think we did some good work on this, but it still needs practice.
