Jumpernite!

Hello! Last weekend, Blitzen and I went to a show in Olympia, called Jumpernite. It was really fun! It was my first show without Mollie, and It was a good experiance having Phil as my trainer for once. The first class I went in, Blitzen was being stupid and was scared of the first fence, so he refused it and I almost fell off! Then I made him jump it, and we did the rest of the course. On fence three, we came to the fence at a bad angle and weird distance, so I flew up in the saddle, but luckily landed back down. I jumped the next fence without my stirrup :P

The next class I had, I got to use Mr. Wacky, Jenni’s jockey whip. Hehe… That got Blitzen going! It was a speed round, I needed Blitzen’s energy out. We had a time of 46 seconds, but not fast enought to be placed. Oh well, the show was SO fun anyways!

After I was finished, we watched the High Jump class. Its where you only jump two fences- the first a warm up fence to get the horse going, and the second is the High Jump. If all the horses in tha class clear the jump, it keeps getting higher, and higher, and higher. I don’t want to explain the whole thing, so here is a video I made of it…

Here are also some videos of my two rounds at Jumpernite…

And my friend Claire…
