I will definitely have to get an indoor arena when I have horses of my own. It's very handy. I rode with HM today. The weather was awful. The snow hitting your face felt like little pinpricks. Lucky for us she has an indoor arena. We stayed warm as the wind howled against the barn.
I rode HM's Thoroughbred, Ollie. We worked on trotting, doing cavaleties, or for those of us who don't speak jumping, logs on the ground. We did cantering and... we did jumping! It was so much fun! It was one jump with two poles crossing each other. After doing that a little bit I asked if we could make it a little higher. I think it was just above knee high or at knee high. We did that and Ollie was great. The last jump we did Ollie was quite pleased with himself.
I found out that there is a dressage and jumping instructor about an hour away. Not exactly how far away but I think it's about an hour. But anywho. HM's going to see if we can make it work to go up there with her the next time she has a lesson. So excited!
