One of my favorite things about clinic weekends at Dragonfire is the creative things that get show up in our arena. Today, I arrived early and noticed an invasion of deely-boppers atop some straw bales. Hawley wanted flags so she got… well, I guess they are flags? They twirled in the wind and proved quite entertaining all day. Creative solutions are often the best. There were four deely-bopper hay bale jumps in total, with two strides between each. More details to come in a clinic report!
