Gia - session 314 - jumping in the field at CDP for the first time!

 Gia was pretty naughty again this morning before loading her on the big trailer.  She rode in the trailer fine once we got moving, unloaded fine at CDP, and loaded up just fine when we left.  Hopefully, it won't take too many trips before she starts out her morning on a better note.

The jumps were cleared from the main arena at CDP today, so we ventured out into the field, with a horse buddy, Carter. Gia was very nervous to walk down the road, but relaxed a little when we got to the field.  I think it probably felt like her field at home.  She was a little nervous trotting around some of the jumps there though, especially the big logs.  We trotted back and forth with Carter leading the way, and that helped her to relax a little.  Later, while we were waiting our turn, I had her hang out near the logs and barrels, that were scary, to get a little more comfortable with them.

Her first few jumps were a bit awkward.  But, once she realized that they weren't much different from her jumps in the field at home, or even the jumps that are usually in the CDP arena, she relaxed and jumped them really well, even pulled me to them!

Her walk back to the barn was much more relaxed, and I was even able to let her go to the buckle!
