Jumping For the Sky

My Goal & Purpose

My goal was to be able to canter a course of jumps. I chose this goal to help my process with confidence with jumping and because jumping is something I’ve been focusing on for a while and trying to improve with my position and technique while cantering into, over and out of jumps.

My Process

1. Get confident trotting jumps
2. Get confident cantering over poles
3. Canter after a jump
4. Canter a few strides before the jumps and canter over it
5. Canter a course of jumps

Skills I’ve Learnt or Improved

I’ve learnt a lot of skills such as patience and perseverance, but some things I’ve learnt can’t be put under everyday skills. For instance, I’ve learnt how to stay on better and that is a huge skill. I’ve also learnt about how to be able to help my pony tell when to take off and to keep her from running out.

 Goal

My goal was to go on treks with my mum, take photos and review each ride for other horse riders on my blog.

Purpose

My purpose was to discover more ways to use the iPhone camera and skills to make great photos just with your iPhone. I also wanted to expand my knowledge on different places you can go trekking in Canterbury.

Process

My process included,

• Research about taking photos on an iPhone
• Find out about great places to go riding
• Go on 10 treks around Canterbury
• Take at least 6 photos along each trek
• Write a blog post about the ride and give information about where and how good the ride was and post the best photos.

Reflection

I loved learning all about photography and trekking. I learnt the best time of the day to take great photos, to change lighting or use focus to enhance the photo quality and what directions and angles it was best to take photos with. A website I discovered had some great information about taking photos with iPhones. I only got to use it for the last few of my treks. I am very happy with how well my entire product has turned out.
