Truthful Tuesday

Obviously, since my horses have the winter mostly off, I haven't really done any jumping in quite some time. Which is totally fine. But you know what's not fine? I can't actually remember the last time I changed the course in the ring. I think it's been the same for like two years now. Or close to it anyway.

I did have an old jump casualty last year. My first course of fences when I got my barn was beautiful. All wooden jumps from a local company who also happens to supply a lot of the major horse shows. It was pretty fun practicing over the same jumps I often would show over! But alas, wood eventually rots, so I've been switching over to the Burlingham jumps. They're a little more weatherproof, less upkeep, and a lot lighter to move around. They're not as pretty or as fancy, but they're easier to deal with. But I digress. Since one of my older jumps had to move on to smellier pastures (the dump...) I did move the oxer that used to be part of the outside line.

That one over there on the right

So I did move SOMETHING! I guess changing the course needs to go on the to do list.
I used to get really excited to make a new course and jump around. But that was back when Rio was still jumping. It's a lot more exciting but not in a good way to move the course when Jamp is all I have to jump. He's not good with change. He's not really that good with not change... Poor dude.

I know many of you can't leave the jumps up where you ride, so you're constantly changing the course around. But the rest of you? How often do you move the jumps around?
