A virtual checklist of sorts.
I hate him. I really hope he still reads this shit. Then he can know I hate him. I'm sure he doesnt care because that left his mind so long ago, but im saying it anyway. I fucking hate him.
On to the checklist.
Im getting all excited for event season. I dont know what thats all about. We arent anywhere near event season and yet Im fucking pumped. This is the year for Flash to shine. Things are falling into place. Our flatwork is extremely solid for Training level. Our stadium jumping is a mind over matter thing ive decided.....and cross country....well cross country is amazing and he's as confident as I am. So this should be a move up year from training to prelim. I got a new jump saddle for christmas which will hopefully help his way of going. Anyhow...
The checklist: AKA: things that have to happen before I move up:
1 more completion at training to legally move up
3 more completions (good completions) at training to comfortably move up
Dressage:
Rein-back
Counter Canter
Better lengthenings
the sit-trot lengthening (fucking impossible on flash)
stronger leg-yeild
a more balanced 10 meter canter circle
better transitions
Jumping:
skinnies
corners
brushing through brush instead of jumping over it
combinations involving skinnies/offset skinnies
jumping over a log down into water
double banks down
true coffins
bigger and wider stadium fences
fucking huge triples
yeah i think thats about it for now haha.
my school life is going to be fucking crazy. wake me up when its over will ya?
in the meantime
peace.
