"I feel marooned in this body..."

I'm going a bit stir crazy. It hasn't even been 2 weeks, but it seems like years.

Anyway, I talked to Steph today. Dee is no longer at the bottom of her riding list! Yay! I guess she's been pretty good lately... her long and low work is very nice and she's much less crazy when she jumps. Apparently the left lead is still a bit of a problem, but she just has trouble with it because she's still weak, not because she's being bad. Steph was impressed with how clever she is to the fences, because she's quick to put herself where she needs to be, and can stuff in a short one before the fence without getting off balance or launch from the long one and only be sort of off balance on landing. She also thinks that she has a lot of jump and said that she has a pretty impressive kick behind over the jumps, which is interesting, because Bettina has also mentioned how big of a jump she has behind just in her gallop. Who knows... maybe this summer we'll focus on jumper shows. Steph seems to think that might be her niche.
