Grand Prix Jumping

My favorite sport to watch is Grand Prix Jumping. Today we watched a jumping contest that would prove which U. S. rider goes to the Olympics. Horse and rider must be completely attuned to each other, one fault and it is all over. I also enjoy dressage. I have trained all my horses to side pass, flying lead change, turn on their back heels, etc., but I watch those higher level riders and I will be darned if I can see the signals. Truly amazing and admittedly I wish I could do it too.

Also trained a couple of my horses to wheel and chase nasty dogs. Horses 1, nasty dogs 0.

I like horse jumming. Barrel racing is also a blast. Its too bad I don't own horses anymore. Man I miss having them.
