💪 (Part 2️⃣ )
.
Get it Swatchers! After jumping the A element in the last photo there’s not a lot of time to adjust from the plan. I had watched the combination that morning as the Intermediate jumped the same fences. It had ridden successfully from six to eight strides, so riding off your eye was not the move. The move was to give the horse a good line and keep his feet quick up to the next fence.
.
 In a little too much determination we galloped right on in the six strides to B and easily made it out here to the second table at C. I was so  pleased with his reaction there to be so bold.
.
In an angled fence like this I like to have some contact to show the horse where he needs to go. But, he has to use his neck to get over the jump.  So here I just let the reins slip through my hand so he can stretch over the fence. You could argue my arm and elbow should be in front of my body and a little taller in my shoulder for the instance he had needed a little more encouragement. That position is safer which is a position flaw I think a lot of us should work towards. 
.
I love his effort here and that they caught the moment!
