Here is a sampling of some of our cross country jumps for tomorrow. The course has twenty six numbered jumps with about forty jumping efforts. The optimum time is just over ten minutes. It will be a course with a lot of galloping and traditionally the long, slow hills at Fair Hill take a toll on the horses. The weather looks beautiful for the weekend and I am looking forward to the cross country with Doc. He has been jumping really well.
Today we already did an equisage (equine massage) treatment on Doc to help relax him and we will go hacking around the show grounds. We will also try to get Doc to eat as much grass as possible on the lead line! When he gets to big shows he doesn't like his hay anymore and he needs a tummy with something in it.
