So I rode Emmett in my lesson again last night (really, really wish I had gotten video). He's this 17 something hand AQH, which I generally don't like, but he's GORGEOUS. He always pushes himself into the bit and usually doesn't pull - amazing. He'd make a gorgeous dressage horse.
Anyway, when we started cantering he wasn't going, so I gave him a little tap with the whip and little butthead bucked. Luckily, I didn't go flying (although if my position had been better, I may have even kept that stirrup :( )
And at the end of the lesson, the sub instructor said I could jump him :) so we started out with a baby 12" x-rail, to get Emmett and myself warmed up (god, I haven't jumped in forever), and she just kept raising it, which I totally wasn't expecting..
We ended up doing 2', and kept going until my position got bearable and until he stopped knocking the rails. Our last jump was beautiful! :)
