Well my mare is finally getting back into a regular work schedule. We've been doing mostly longing for a month and some walk/trot riding. Her canter work started slowly about a month ago, she's really working well on her previously off side.
Since she's strengthened up we added some ground poles, upped to raised poles, then to small cross rails. A couple nights ago I popped it up to a small vertical. Seems to me she's getting lazy, but that may be the small heights versus the work we were doing last season. Last season we were working on small 2'9" courses and adding a 3' jump or two to prep for the next level. Her legs were tight and square, now they're just kind of there.
Just the height?
