( Now I need translator to help me with this XD) Sofia picked up a gallop, made a small circle, approached the jump, gave jumping aids and they crossed the jump by a foot over the jump, with a perfect jump, but Sofia was obviously nervous.
|
|  |
|
| |
|
" Ok, " she anserwed "and what next?" she asked. |
| |
|
| |
|
"That was gorgeous! Can you do it again?" "Just relax", as Sofia was galloping away Anna secretly bumped the jump up to 4ft. |
|
|
| |
|
"Sure" Sofia said. Again, Sofia made a circle, passed the obstacle,
gave a canter, and they jumped the jump again so that there was a
foot of air between the jump and Rio(, even though the jump had been
raised). Sofia was more relaxed than last time, but this time you
could see that Rio was pushing on the reins, so that Sofia couldn't help
but go along. |

|
"Shorten your reins, if he pulls on you, he can pull you off." |
|
|
| |
|
Now pick a couple jumps in the arena to do please. |
|
|
| |
|
" Oh dear she noticed it... " she thought. "Ok" she said, but wasn't sure what would happen. "would that change anything?" she thought. |
| |
|
| |
|
Anna saw how she was tense again, she was about to stop her but she let the course play out. |
|
|
| |
|
She picked a red&white oxer, two vertical jump serie that was blue&yellow, and a wall, and jumped those, beautifully, but even tough she shortered the reins Rio was still pushing the reins and Sofia wasn't so relaxed anymore. |
| |
|
| |
|
Anna thought about what Rio was doing and grabbed a spare leverage bit off the wall, she swapped it out for Rio's regular bit and asked her if he was still pushing on the reins and when he did to pick on hand a pull back quick then return to normal. |
