Gia - session 876 - jumping in the field

 I took Gia out for a jump school in the field today.  She felt a little tense starting out at the walk and trot, but after a few minutes, that seemed to go away.  I took her over a few low jumps to start, but all she did was trot them.  She did manage to canter after one jump, and we cantered up to a barrel jump that I don't think I've taken her over before.  I added more leg and a little more whip, and she went right over it!  I also took her over the ditch, and the up and down banks, at a trot.  She did those beautifully!  We finished out by working on getting, and keeping, a good canter, on each lead, up to a jump.  That was really hard for her, and she did think about getting naughty once, but she managed to get one good round in each direction.
