This is DJ, the horse I'll be training on and showing in hunters :D I'm so excited!
Before clicking on the video, please know these few things:
- This is my second time ever riding him and I hadn't ridden at all in 2 weeks.
-DJ hasn't been heavily worked in a while. He hasn't jumped for a while until now.
-His owner is overweight and he gets spunky when ridden by someone skinnier like me since he isn't used to only having to carry that much weight. He will settle in more and act more huntery when he gets used to carrying someone my size.
-This was the end of the lesson and it was extremely hot. Easily 95 degrees or so and he isn't used to long rides yet, and the both of us were very tired.
-I'm working on getting his full lead changes. I'm used to automatic changes so its harder for me to actually have to ask him to give them. I'm working on it.
I'd love any pointers or advice on my EQ.
