I guess learning from this thread it might be a personal thing...?! But it has small rings and is quite ridgid (straight bar) so I wouldn't feel comfortable schooling in it and teaching my youngster in it... I think I wouldn't establish a great connection (contact wise) with him through it! :-)

Hi, Does anyone know the size (in grams) of the Co2 canisters that go in Point 2's?? I think we (the equestrian world) are being royally ripped off for the canisters, let alone the jackets! However, want to source cheaper canisters than the ones from Point 2 and their retailers! Im sure the...

Mine has Clover Hill and King of Diamond Blood. VERY Quirky!!! Grey (not bay as most people suggest) and has a short coupled back! As other have said, very scopey brave jumper!
