Today is usually booked off as a 'relax' day for the horses, meaning that no lessons are booked, which led to there being some spare time after lunch. We had been meaning to lunge Smartie over some jumps for a few days now, and so we made use of the empty arena! Alice began with a nice warm up, with even and controlled walk and trot (and some slightly less controlled canter) before Jodie picked up the rein and took him up to the jumps. Smartie is terribly unfit and not usually the most athletic, but he made a good effort over the fences, possible 'working hunter' classes in his future?
