The Boys Show Off Their Form in the Jumping Chute

Alicia and Caitlin East, one of our riders (and great photographers!), took a few of the three-year-olds over to Lone Pine Farm, just down the road, to run them through the jumping chute and check out their form. Thank you Caitlin for the excellent re-cap and photos!

The jumping chute was a blast! We sent Dawn's Sunrise (who lives at Lone Pine Farm), The Magician's Nephew, and Fred through the exercise. The babies were just figuring out how to jump in general, whereas Dawn's Sunrise was showing us how he wanted to jump.

Both the Magician's Nephew and Fred figured out the chute easily and jumped with style! It was so much fun getting to watch them. Babies are exciting!
Dawn's Sunrise is very talented, so we wanted to see how he used himself without any input from a rider. Hopefully, now we can help him realize that potential in the ring.
