So I have posted a small portion of this on my other platforms with music but decided to pop this on this page with it’s original audio. This is my mare who gets incredibly excited when it come to jumping. When she stops the first time that was completely on me as I asked her to woah as she was not concentrating on where she was going and I was worried she was not going to see the jump and hurt herself you can see that she was not trying to threaten me and once she had got that particular bit out the way she went straight back onto the circle to jump. It is so easy to jump to conclusions and i do have times when i am lunging her normally where she doesn’t want to do it because she finds it boring and its completely different. I know a lot of people will say I shouldn’t have let her do it but i am of the opinion that if any animals enjoys somethings and wants to express themselves (as long as it is not going to harm you or themselves) they should be allowed to do it as You will see at the end when she does the last rear and she gets herself caught with the lunge line I then increased the height of the jump so she had to actually concentrate and she stopped playing around and jumped beautifully. You can see that I use my voice but in no way force her to go over anything.
