Whoo! So G-Force is doing a whole lot better. His leg no longer hurts, and he's back to his lazy self. I did a lot of stuff today. I rode 3 different ways, it was really fun. So here's what I did today.
First, I got him out of the pasture. I took him inside and began to groom him. I went to my locker and found glittery stuff to put in his mane, so, naturally, I did. After that, I braided his mane to look all pretty. After tacking him up for western, I took him into the indoor arena. We did a little warm up, and he faked a limp so he wouldn't have to canter. But, I made him canter because he's just lazy, and smart. After a trail ride across the bridge, I decided to lunge him (without tack) over a few jumps. He did really well. So I put the dressage saddle on him and lunged him again. I decided that it was safe and I could trust him if I was on him while he jumped.
We hurdled towards the jump, and I swerved him around it. I thought I couldn't do it. I came around again and this time he kind of walked over it. 'one more time' I thought. This time we went a little faster and boy did he jump. It felt kind of like flying. I really enjoyed jumping him and next weekend maybe we'll jump higher. :)
