Sequence of a jump

A jump can be divided into four parts: the approach, takeoff, suspension in the air, and landing. You can approach a jump in a trot or a canter-both must be balanced and rhythmical. The takeoff has to be at the right distance for the hose to clear the fence. Once the pony has landed, do not hesitate. Ride it straight on toward the next fence.

Baby oil

Braiding Tips

You should give your pony an even number of braids, including the forelock. Depending on its size,it may have seven,nine,or eveven braids on its nack. A lot of braids make a short nack look longer. Fewer ,thicker braids make a long neck look shorter. If you are good at braiding , you can make the braids stick up or lie flat to make the neck look wider or naarrower.

Braiding the Mane

1 Dampen the mane,than,starting at the poll,divide it into same-size sections. Hold them in place wit ha rubber band tied loosely at the base.

2 Remove the rubber band, and tightly braid each saction. Tie with rubber bands. Tie yarn over the rubber bands, leaving long ends.

3 Thread the yarn througha larg needle and pull the ends up through the top of the braid, making a loop.

4 Roll up the braid by folding it in half again. Hold it in place by trying the yarn around it and knotting it. Cut offany excess yarn.
