Moon Free Jumps

Kestas, my trainer, free jumped the horses today.

Basically, he sets a line of jumps and brings each horse into the arena one at a time. The horses don't have anything on, not even a halter, and they go through the jumps on their own. It's really cool to watch. Moon had never done it before today. He started on smaller jumps and before you knew it, he was jumping a line of big jumps, and on his own, cantering in a circle to do the line again.

When he first got into the arena he took of bucking, so he had a lot of energy. He seemed to really like it, look at what a good job he did.

He looks like he is having a great time. Very cool. It must feel so good to watch him enjoy his "work."
This is the second blog this week I've seen with free jumping. That's pretty cool! It looks like the horses really like it.
He certainly looks like he loves to jump. Gets better and better the higher they get! There's nothing quite so fun as riding a horse and doing something the horse likes to do too.

Wow looks like he really likes it! Boy do I need a covered arena, or heck, an area in the first place. The best I can do right now if it's too cold is lunging in the barn with a 12 foot lead rope!
