Löshoppning

Tonight we did free jumping or löshoppning. This is when we create a barrier around the center of the ring so that the horse has a track to run around and on one long side is a one stride set up. We do this with the horses to see how high they can jumping with no one riding them. It's also a good way for horses to learn how to jump and learn to fix issues of striding and distance to the fence on their own. We did this with Fay today, as we did last week as well but I forgot my camera last week. This week I remembered it and she jumped 125 cm today, or 4.1 feet! Here are a few photos:

Unfortunately the quality isn't the best but at least you get the idea of how she jumps and what the height kinda looks like.


Enjoy!
