Tonight my horse experienced the zone. Aside from one small error on his part (which he did not repeat!) he was absolutely outstanding in our jump coaching session. I have a young lady riding him who is a much better rider than I am and she has helped him find the zone. From watching her ride, I am getting better at replicating what she does to get him there. He is relaxed and really paying attention to the task at hand instead of looking for booger men in the shadows. He was doing well with just me but I think Michaela will be the ticket to him doing great instead of just OK in the jumping.
Oh...I was in the zone too...I am still feeling the runners high feeling from such a great ride.
