Left work early so I could feed at BW again. D conned me into joining their jumping class. I totally beat my getting ready record. PJ didn't know what hit him. Didn't wear spurs or use the crop - should have. We didn't get to warm up enough but he came along as we rode. We walked then trotted over poles. K said they were bored so up the poles went. We jumped verticals - I couldn't believe how confident I felt. What a wonderful feeling. PJ was very happy and calm. We had one stop - I quit riding and was maybe too far forward.

We jumped for a half hour so I went outside when we were finished. PJ was very interested in Lena in the jumping field but I was able to get his mind off her. Walked J and Buster for a while. We cantered the entire arena on both leads. I even had him leg yield in to the right off my right leg - wonderful.

Afterwards, we all chatted and watched the pups play. They laughed as I said Wy almost had a puncture from that dog attacking him. As we were talking I looked at Wyatt as he was mouthing alot sure enough he was losing a tooth. He picked it up and ran with it with Walker hot on his heels. I thought he had swallowed it but he had dropped it. When he went to pick it up I got it from him. Yea, two for posterity!

Going to sign up for Beginner Puppy class with D on Tuesdays.
