Today i had my second training session with Joss at his yard. It was a nice early one at 9am so had to leave around 8am.
At 3:30am tho I wasnt feeling much like a lesson suffering with sickness

Hey ho got up at 6am and headed to the yard.
I havent been able to ride all week due to weather and work commitments although he has been lunged twice it wasnt the best prep.
Hey ho, we arrived at 5 minutes to 9am (still suffering

) quickly tacked up and Joss was teaching.
Last week we worked on courses this week was working on two fences on a 20 mtre circle.
Started over poles on the floor, then x poles onto small uprights to a slightly bigger up right then he popped a blue filler in which snoop jumped but made a real leap lol and waved his front legs up past his ears lol I have it on video so funny!
Then he popped the fences slightly higher again and then put them low to finish off the exercise.
At the end Joss just added a further fence 4 strides away i had to pop up over that before riding down to the two fences at the bottom of the school and then come up 4 strides out. Really useful exercise getting me to ride as soon as i land (as i tend to dwell and only start riding about 3 strides after i land

Just a few pics too
Hope you like - his face at the blue filler is so funny, hes not a spooky horse by nature but he decided it needed a look even so.

Thanks for reading

Cracking photos again. I think my favorite thing about Snoopy is his attitude always smiling loving work.

Fanks Sarah.
Youre right, hes always happy to perform whether hacking, jumping or schooling. He just loves work and attention and is always pleased to see you
smile.gif
and always first to neigh.
Hes just a super cool dude.
 
Morning, is it raining where you are???
Pouring here now
frown.gif
what a contrast from yesterday morning.
Indeed, he has a huge stride, much bigger than winston!
Um well, hoping to go xc schooling next week, Joss has invited me to go with him too at Tweseldown after the event, which should be useful.
Possibly Larkhill

Only got 3 wks, best find a dressage to do too??
 
Stopped again here, now have jods on, but think I will wait to ride in it later this afternoon. I only need to go up to the yard once today.
Wind is getting up too

HAHA dont you come all innocent about dressage to me young lady, we all know what a dressage diva you are

He has really filled out and looks great - love his expression over the scarey filler - but he still jumped it!
 
Looking lovely, am very jealous you had sunshine though!!
Love the one over the blue block.... what a very warmblood thing to do
smirk.gif
 
Photo of jumping blue block v good - he was definitely keeping his feet well away from it in case it was a monster.
I think I am most jealous of the fact that you had good weather this morning - it poured here and we couldn't go to out SJ (well it is right next to the beach so rain + gale force winds + jumping outside on grass = therefore we stayed at home).
That sounds like a v useful exercise to try.

Yay look at you two go! You have definitly clicked with him and always look such a happy pair together and I love the blue brick "spook" perfect! Snoops definitly has some character.
grin.gif
 
He's such a gorgeous boy.....and his name just fits him to a tee
grin.gif
Still thinks he knows best i see.....but you wouldn't want him any other way lol!
 
Thank you everyone one
smile.gif

Alibabe, we really have clicked, I had him 4 months now and so enjoy riding him. We have an understanding.... lol

Rambo, haha you noticed Snoop still thinks he knows best lol I dont think we will ever stop him thinking that. Joss thinks hes a real dude too, and YO who was against us going to an eventer for training is really impressed with how we are going.
Its like having the BBC there, with both mum and YO videoing and taking pictures lol
Then when I was loading snoop made a B-line to a guy just walking across the yard. Turns out he is a big cheese at BEF and owns a couple of event horses!
