Improvise, Adapt and Overcome



Right after the spook incident with the geese, they are trotting toward the pond. Win's ears are up, head is high, and eyes are alert as she gains a little speed headed toward the corner. All the signs that she once again thinks the new to

her dressage rail are not a fence or border of sorts, but infact very similar to the low cross rails she's used to jumping at home. "Yea, Justine is finally going to let me jump again and I can chase those geese!!!" Justine swallowed fear, kept her composure and posted a little deeper in the saddle as she applied slowing pressure on the reins, and Win kicked it around the corner, ans as you can see in the second picture it was all good. Despite those scary geese disappearing behind her, she has a balanced trot, Justine is on post and straight, Win's head is more relaxed and one ear forward the other back at her rider literally asking/waiting for the next cue. Way to go girls.
