I cuddled Teddy extra and rubbed his knee after that. Then this was his final jump 5/5. He raced into it due to some anxiety, but he slowed down a bit before takeoff. Then he cleared it better and was more careful to tuck up his front legs nicely. Smart boy!

Then 4/5, which was not amazing for poor Teddy. He got in too deep, didn't tuck his front legs or rock back enough on his haunches. So he whacked his knee on the rail and took it down. Then he bucked a bunch because it HURT.

Now 3/5. Now the other direction, which he doesn't like as much.

Here's 2/5. Trot to a nice forward canter. He was a bit sloppy with his front legs, and he touched the rail with a front hoof.

My trainer and I did some free jumping with my green throughbred Teddy yesterday. He was very willing, and he seemed to be having fun. Once we got up to about 2'6", I started taking video. Here's 1/5. I love how chill he is trotting over this one. #horse #jumping

Frisco's "No Kings" Protest in 11 seconds. Turnout was stellar for our small community, vibes were positive and patriotic, and I was happy to see a number of friends. #Colorado

Lila shared some not-subtle feelings with Teddy yesterday, as he was walking about doing some visiting of the horses in their pens. She tolerates him okay, but she does think he's annoying and dumb, and she's not wrong.

I roundpenned Teddy with his saddle on today, and he thought he was auditioning for the rodeo. I put him on the lunge, and he behaved himself. He was also good under saddle. 🙄😂

So much work to do with him, so little time before the snow starts falling. #horse #colorado #breckenridge

Teddy is upset that Lila — his preferred source of safety and security — is not in the pen next to him. 1/2
