Another Wall Smashed

Sophie broke down another wall today, holding 'Jaguar' at a steady canter for as long as she wanted, and ended with a couple of nice jumps in practice for the Gymkhana GP. It may not sound like much, but believe me, getting 'Jaguar' to do what he did today takes skill - a lot of skill, and a great deal of communication. This was a good, solid achievement that will see Sophie's rise through the ranks accelerate at a staggering rate. I'm proud of her, too, for wanting to break down this wall with a horse that's notoriously difficult, and not take an easier mount just to make faster progress. Well done, kiddo - on the one day I didn't have a camera with me!
