Today I jumped over my first jump while riding a horse. After setting up the jump, Ike looked at me and said, "I promise that if you look down or aren't in two-point position, you will fall off" (two-point position is how you kind of stand up in the stirrups when you go over the jump). That was motivation enough for me; I wasn't really in the mood to fall off of a horse today.I'm pretty sure I looked like a monkey trying to ride a coyote, but at least I lived to tell about it. I know (judging by Ike's reaction) that I had at least one (reasonably) good one.
Ike still pretty much told me that I suck at cantering with stirrups (which probably means he's gonna tie my legs to them). I had lots of fun today though, and am looking forward to whoopin' Ciara at horse jumping.
