I set up the arena with a free jumping chute this morning to get some photos and videos, and decided to send Note through. I couldn't remember if I'd done it with him before, but he definitely remembered! I walked him through once with all ground poles, and he very clearly knew what we were doing. So I set everything up as small jumps and let him go! Kimberly Hale Photography took the photos and video.
This first photo I love because he poses so nicely over the small oxer of crossrails. Head down, knees up, ears forward. It's a very small fence but he makes it look classy.
When I realized he definitely had done it before, I made the last fence larger.
Note happily cleared everything I set up, he's a very tidy jumper.
Here is the video of his last run through the chute:

It's fun to see what my horses can do all on their own. To my chagrin, when I went to save these photos in Note's 2021 folder on my computer I realized I didn't have any other photos of him this year! He's quite out of shape since I haven't done anything with him, but at least he enjoyed himself over fences today.
