Outdoor Ring

I rode both Shania and Rose in our outdoor ring for the first time today! I was so excited, the thing that confused me though was that I kept on hearing these children and they where like "Whoa look at that one." and "Oh, that one just stopped!" We had a very scary fake log lined jump that Dandy didn't want to jump. The thing that confused me was that I couldn't see the children, I heard them but I looked every where and they were no where in site. Since our outdoor ring is on the far right of our property I guess it was the neighbors kids because only my sister and I ride at our barn. Scary stuff, now I understand how horses feel sometimes. Well any who, Shania was pretty good we kept on missing the spot on the diagonal vertical of the red birch line the oxer was no problem though. I think it had to do with how the line was more of a bending line and I was more focused on the second jump of the line. Rose was fabulous but all four lines rode up long. Afterwards I took Elliot out to graze and I heard the children again.... I think I might be a tad bit looney or we have intruders on our property *raises eye brows in suspicious manor*
