I took Highboy to Spring Gulch to school cross country on Monday this week. He was frisky and did some rambunctious bucking over the
simple jumps to entertain himself. He also learned how to jump ditches,
jumped up and down his first banks, and we did some mini-courses to
give him the feel of galloping between jumps and thinking about
lengthening his stride as well as shortening it and rebalancing when
approaching a fence. Thank you to Carol and Shambhu for going riding with us and taking the videos!

I was also able to get some still photos from the videos, some silly and some impressive.
