1st Paper Chase

We took Cody & Legacy to a paper chase today in Unionville. It was soooo much fun!! It did rain a little, but it was actually pretty nice weather. Legacy took the lead and it was a good test to see how he was feeling...there was absolutely no hesitation or pinning of his ears when we were galloping, so that was really positive. He was kind of backed off into the jumps, but they were all tiny so I could push him over them without a problem. He did everything I asked of him though. Cody was good too and Seth is still working on finding his balance over the jumps....he's been using the yoke to balance instead of using Cody's mouth. He's also been working on letting go of Cody a few strides out to try and get him to take a bigger stride...Cody jumps so much better when he does that so it was good for them too. It was also a great conditioning workout for them both...lots of fairly steep hills for trotting....they will both get the day off tomorrow :). And for the first time all 3 horses were sound today. Hobbs' cut looks a lot better and he's sound so he got a good dressage workout today too. Hopefully Beaventing is on the right track...
