Free fall

Today finally i went jumping!! haven't jumped in ages.. well almost 2mths to b exact. Went to Pulomas this morning. Rode Action, alyssa's horse. I rode him for his 1st competition last yr. He's a picky horse, tht one. He likes to choose his rider. If he likes u, he'll try his heart out to please u and do whteva u asked him to do, otherwise if he hates u..hmm good luck then :). Me and alyssa are the only 2 riders whom he seemd to like. Anyway, I jumped him. Not so high, only abt 3feet and a wide triple bar. A small course of 8 jumps.. he was great!!!
He had matured so much since last yr..his capability of judging distance is much better. Only he's still a bit wobbly on his left canter.

Then I rode Bobby. I was so so glad Bobby is still there!! I always got a soft spot for him as he's such a sweet, honest little horse. I helped trained him last summer, and now he's alrd jumping soo much better! I put him thr a very very wrong distance to this double..then he still jumped it!! it was such an awkard jumps, and i fell off when we landed. Wah..been a while since i fell. But its alrite, hop back on straight away..and we re-jumped e whole course..he was behaving like a perfect angel!!!
I love him so much!!!

Omg..soo happy to finally b back on a horse again n b ard them!! I felt totally reenergised and exhilirated when we finished jumping.. the feeling of such a huge power underneath u, and tht seconds u feel like ur flying in mid-air when we jumped a high fence.. wahhh....best feeling in the world!

At the same time, i missed diving as well. Miss egypt live. What a dream it all seems to be now.. such a peaceful, isolated life for a whole mth. Surreal.
