We went to Tweseldown on Sunday for a XC school- she was just so great and fearless over everything

but Tweseldown was like the M25 that afternoon- just so incredibly busy, which Pops found very exciting- which in turn just meant that she just wasnt relaxing over her fences and showing a good technique. But she is still so young, can't ask for too much- I was really pleased with her anyway, I just know she's going to be an ace XC horse!

If you want to look, here is the link to a few photos

Click on the bottom row of pics to scroll right along to the very end of the row of little pictures, and then click on the bottom of pics to get the pic numbers its 75/76, 92/93 and 108/109 ( which are the last two pics)
ETA- 80, 86/87 as well

I think you're 80, 86 and 87, too.

Glad to hear she handled it all with aplomb - good practice for the real thing! She looks very bold and like she's trying to figure it all out, not at all overwhelmed or stressed out.
 
Oh goodness how could I miss out 86 and 87!!

Yes she is just the cutest little thing ever and has such a zest and joy for life, she wasn't at all fazed by various jumps onto hills/off angles, or worried by the huge puddles that were on either side of every jump there!
 
Fiona- that's good news!! I also have to keep on thinking of Milton, his jumping pics as a 5 year old were also very dangly ( well , not quite the same degree of dangle-ness but def not perfect!

Deskbound- she's rising 5 this year so I'm just going to take things as they come. I'd love her to be ready for some B.E 5 y.o classes /BYEH in July, but not going to push things. Will just try a few hunter trials/BSJA/BD followed by some unaff ODE's at Intro level, and see how they go. But she is so unfazed about jumping and is so easy and straight to a fence that I'm quietly hopefull that she will get to a 5 y.o class

I can see her getting bored of Intro heights very quickly!
