Horse Jumping 102...Vesty, very Vesty

Tonight it was back to Vesty as Sheila would be riding pet and Joan was on Eli and...it was another jumping night! Thankfully, there were only 4 fences tonight as opposed to the eight last week. I Had the same issues I experienced last time I rode Vesty. He's much more sensitive to pretty much any command/aid so he forces me to really concentrate on riding correctly. The trot and canter felt pretty good, although he still has a little wobble at the trot. When it came time for the first fence, we had some problems though. Although I had jumped higher fences with Pet, Vesty wasn't too keen on me jumping with him yet and he ended up refusing four or five times. Laura then took the fence down and we did several laps around the arena just going over the poles on the ground. We would go into the obstacle at a trot and then come out at a canter. It certainly wasn't pretty, and there were several other refusals during the night, but now I've established that I can jump more than horse.
