Showing Off

Two weeks' vacation seems to have improved Be's mood and we had a pretty good ride this past week. We went out early in the morning to beat the heat and showed off for our company. My husband watched us jump for the first time, and my mother was visiting from Florida and manned the camera for us :)

Hubby hanging around while I tack up Be. Be seems to want to gravitate toward the ring.

Be and I waiting for the mounting block. I usually swing up from the ground but I'm trying to get use to using the block and having her stand beside it

Be hamming it up for the camera

There's something to learn even from the bad photos. In this case, my sitting trot needs me to be sitting back more with my heel under me :P

Canter canter canter. Stretch UP!

Apparently I am laughing. Who knows why but I tuck my chin when I laugh. Ah well.

And now for that stuff Be loves. Jump, Be!

Sure tucks those feet eh?

1,2,3,4,5,6, release!

Wheeee!

Below is Be and our friends Mary and Red. Many of the students mistake their lesson horse, Red, for Be. We shared our lesson with him and Mary.
