150. And the jumps get higher...

Last night although feeling queesy thanks to the ever growing life inside me i managed to get to the field to lunge Spice and boy did we have fun!

I like to break everything up a bit so we started off with some basic groundwork for around 5 minutes and then did some lunging for about 10 minutes and followed by jumping for around 10 minutes. I've got Spice to the point where she trots along side me with me holding onto just her head collar and then about five metres before the jump i let her go and off she goes!

She cleared every jump beautifully and had no hesitation in her strides whatsoever. We only went up to 2.5" because i didn't want to push her too hard having only just started bringing her back into work but i think she could have carried on for another 20 minutes or so! she has so much energy and scope...

After each jump i allowed her to graze on grass while i adjusted the height so it was all very relaxed and a pleasant experience for both of us. I absolutely love watching her jump - it's lovely watching her do something she excels at and enjoys so much.

Today i really want to go see her but i've been feeling sick ALL day so not sure i'll be able to. :( - which is very upsetting. I'm still trying to decide what the point of morning sickness, afternoon sickness and evening sickness is!
