These photos are from June and I'm writing this entry on Sunday, August 21st, the evening before the first day of the Fall semester. This past week, Violet and I made real progress on our flat work and our jumping. I had been watching all these videos of hunter ponies jumping their courses and they all looked so sweet and quiet and smooth and even, so in our Thursday evening class, I decided to try and ride my girl that way. We had such fun. We jumped a course with two overs, and a double roll-back. We were smooth and sweet. And I felt like I was riding a cloud!
