Raven went with several other Bit of Honey horses to the pair pace at Sunrise Equine in Fort Collins today. We got there early enough that I could school Raven on the course a little before other people arrived, one of the perks of having such a laid-back environment locally!
Big thanks goes to Kimberly Hale Photography for capturing all of the Bit of Honey horses rounds today.
This was a chevron jump, so it was V shaped with narrow side on the bottom and wide portion on top. Raven had to take a look at it, but then cleared it with typical winged Raven clearance.
I like this series because you can see just how large the rolltop is compared to the horse as Raven approaches, but then when she actually jumps she makes it look quite reasonable.
Raven is so compact and powerful. She's 15.3h and totally a Ferrari of a sporthorse.
This fence was new to the course since we'd last been there. It's a corner, so narrow on the right side and wide on the left side. It was also of substantial size as is evident from the approach photo.
But Raven handles it like a pro.
There was of course some good galloping between fences, too. I can't ask for a more scenic background for my run!
