Even though the glorious Rocky Mountains were adorning the backdrop, apparently nothing was as interesting to me as that pile of logs. ![]() We started warming up over a ‘small,’ (OK, so not small to me!) jump consisting of stacked logs… don’t ask me what the proper name for these things are! Bronn was so good and brave, but being the anxious jockey that I am, I kept looking down at the jumps causing him to pause and stop a couple times. As amazing as Bronn has been over small jumps, they have been neither solid nor out there in a giant field. When I ride up with first field, though, I am not only on an experienced and finished hunt horse, but I also have the assistance of some liquid courage. My experience with cross country has been slim to none, aside from one schooling last year on one of our Makeover horses and of course, out there on the hunt. We took our respective RRP mounts: Sully’s Bro, Chicory Blue, Mr. The group of ladies that I went to the Makeover with last year, the Green Thumb Thoroughbreds, all went out to school at Spring Gulch with our trainer, Ryleigh Leavitt. ![]()
