The Amoeba, i.e. lowest, level course from the show last weekend at Full Circle Horse Park [Show Report] . If I were a goal-setting sort of person, this would be our goal for November [This Is Why I Don’t Set Goals sidenote, just under 6 months later, we jumped the stadium course in the photo. Go us! Eventually!].
Yes, the jumps are small, wee even. Remember, the last time I asked Milton to trot around an open field, he had a hissy fit [Two Hops Forward, One Step Back] Height is not the issue.
Previous FCHP cross-country schools. We have walk or trotted over half to three-quarters of these.

I wish this level were available when I was starting eventing. Would have been easier to get her used to jumping out of a ring.
I love the Amoeba level! I would have never started showing again if it weren’t for these lower levels.
I’m sure the purists are appalled, but these intro levels seem to be hugely popular. I personally don’t have trails or jumps at my disposal. I can’t school everything and then start at Novice.
