First Jump?

Hey Yall,
So today I got to sleep until almost 10 o'clock because Tania feed for me and it was amazing!!! The only thing I don't like about having my horses at my own farm is that I have to wake up early to go feed in the mornings. After my sleepy butt woke up and got going I went to the feed store to see Amelia and to get beet pulp. Then I went out to the farm and picked up Stephanie from Tanias. For those of you who don't know Stephanie is Tanias daughter. She is six years old and has been learning to ride on Danny. She is really a natural. Today she walked around with a little help from Tania and practiced her steering, posting at the walk, and two-point while I rode Amador. She did very well until Danny stopped walking about five feet away from one of the jumps. She gave him a kick and told him to walk on, but I guess he misses jumping because hi gave her a smooth trot to canter transition and proceeded over the jump! luckily the pole had fallen so it was just a ground pole and Stephanie shocked us all because she stayed perfectly centered and two pointed over the pole. She was a little nervous afterwards but she really liked it! I jumped Amador and he was really good and got all of his hunter strides. I'm very excited because Susan is coming to help me on Saturday. Tomorrow I'm going to ride again so I'll let yall know how that goes.
