Jump what?!

Haha, I am greatly enjoying this jumping Gypsy business. Sent her over some more today, and she actually let me free lunge her over the jump, instead of leading her into the chute. I didn't really make a chute today actually...because I was too lazy. And sure, a lot of the time she was boogery and dodged the jump, but she went over quite a few times too! She is learning to do it right :) Haha.
A sidenote- she is getting to have such an awesome walk and canter. I wish I could find somebody to take a picture or video of her ridden. I would say under saddle, but I almost never ride with a saddle anymore. I mainly ride bareback these days. Hey, what can I say? I don't like my english saddle all that much, and its easier to just hop on without it.
This picture is the highest jump she went over today. She still only does crossrails- she thinks the straight bar is scary. So next on the list is to get her going over those. She's so cute in this picture. "Jump? Jump what?"
Oh and another video. Because they are fun. But it's only ....one second long. Ha! I was having a super difficult time taking video while sending her over the jump all by myself. When I tried to take a vid, she would be naughty and dodge the jump.
