On Friday it was a misty day so I decided hacking was a bit dicey. I took Harvey in the school and was planning to jump, but he started doing mini bucks on the left rein. When Harvey does this its normally high spirits but once before he had put his back out so we didn't jump.
Saturday was misty again but good enough for a short hack.
Sunday was my first SJ clinic of the year and we were very lucky to get nice (for January) weather. Harvey was very enthusiastic and went well for me.
Warm up fence
Fence 1
Fence 2 was on a curving line from fence 1 followed by a 120 degree turn onto fence 3 which was tricky on Harvey
Fence 4 was a 2 stride double followed by a curving line to 5 (this is the second part of the double)
Fence 5 - this was followed by a very tight turn onto 6
Fence 7 was on a decent curve from 6
I came out of 7 with really loose reins (I'm trying to sort it out here). I then managed to drop my outside rein so we jumped the final fence at about a 30 degree angle - oops. Look at his face though - he loves it
