Yes, they were Bayard. But it was a picturesque stump. In years to come, Laurie George McGovern 17 hrs ago #2

placed a series of six logs uphill on the other side of the course to be used as jumps. Riders would acquire a running start then trot over smaller logs, gaining speed uphill until they reached the main jump-over, somewhat larger log. And jump it.
It was a great obstacle for jumping. Thank You for asking!
