Horse Camp Day 3

So today, we worked on trotting on the lounge line. Then we played Red Light, Green Light. Charger won because Hummer was too polite to nudge a human. Then we played Simon Says. They wanted to get off horses when they lost, so I got stuck with Charger :) When we where trotting, he tripped, tried to catch himself. Tripped again, and caught himself again. So there he is, laying on his knees until he completely lays down. Me, of course, did an emergency dismount. He got up and was fun, but thank god I was on him and not one of the campers.

I had a lesson on Frankie again. He was really good and instead of starting off stiff, he started to bend. He dropped down into my hand in the trot faster then yesterday. He was pretty good jumping. He just would rush a little, but not as bad as yesterday. Oh, and we accidentally trotted a 2'4 oxer from the trot :o but he cleared it by a foot; it felt so weird and funny at the same time.
