And I think its safe to say he has changed a little over the years :D

He still amazes me how well he can jump this is nearing 110 (I know it doesnt look it but dad measured it after we left) and he is only 14.2!!

Had whoops moments (this was the result of a tack change and steering was some what comprimised)

And here is a bit of a sumarry of our time together

oh and last night for the first time I fell off him out hacking :o xc length stirrups, a girth that could do with going up a hole (must remember he has lost weight) and a very sharp spook right when doing fast work = me going out the side door :cool: :rolleyes:
 
Yay happy anniversary to you both! I loved the video, its amazing how far you've come, he's like a different horse now and its clear you have such a strong bond :)
 
happy owniversary :D the change in him is incredible - he doesn't look like a lardy pony at all any more :p No way he could've jumped like he does now with all that extra lard!

love the video (I knew you'd be using that track somehow :p I'm psychic ;) ). Love Fergles' little cameo in there in the water at Ely ;) I'd just like to inform everyone that the reason dafthoss looks back after jumping the hench-looking hedge-drop thing is because I yelled very loudly as Fergles followed them over :D

eta were you still doing the 2'6 at isleham?

Happy anniversary! I do think he's a fab pony & very cute. And he reminds me a lot of mine when she was younger too so I think he's especially great. (have even done the too loose girth, gallop & out the side door in xc position)

Thanks :) Nope not sore at all and thankfully he just stopped spooking as soon as I hit the ground :cool:

Thanks, I am very lucky to have found him :D despite his moments and wobbles he fills me with confidence (well jumping his flat work makes me feel super stupid), his ability to get us out of dodgy situations is just amazing.

Ha the worse bit is he spooked at a dressage board :mad::rolleyes: as if he hasnt seen them before! oh and the logs that he jumps in the video :rolleyes: but I stayed on at them :p and he did it every time we went round the field!

Thanks, theres still a fair ammount of work to go but when it goes right its the best feeling ever.
 
You look a fantastic combination and how far have you come. It's fab to see.

However, in some of the pics your yellow pony looks almost silver! Stunning. Will you swap for a bay carthorse? :)

He goes a manky grey colour when clipped :( I hate it and no one believes he is yellow normally :rolleyes:

How big is bay cart horse, if he is small then maybe next time we fall out then I'll do you a swap.

Bay cart horse is just under 15hh, is that small enough? :)

However, he's good atm, so give it about a week until he finds a new trick to amuse himself with and i'll probably want to give the monster away. never mind a swap! :D
