I just wanted to make an appreciation post for this lovely boy Paco, he's a 6 year old gelding cob from my riding school and for years I've been trying to rebuild my jumping confidence after a bad fall and after only 6 weeks of riding this young boy my confidence has sky rocketed!

Since my bad fall a few years back jumping a course was my worst nightmare so last August after a 2 year break I decided to get back to riding at a new yard for a fresh start, (can't thank this yard enough for bringing back the enjoyment and improvement to my riding).Even though I still had a few falls on this yard I was still getting better but I was still terrified doing a course until I started riding Paco! And 2 weeks ago we did a small show and even though our dressage didn't go to plan we went clear in our show jumping 70's and we flew around with not one bit of fear in me during it :D

So I just wanted to say a big thank you to this lovely heart and to all the other lovely hearts who've helped us regain our confidence etc

I look crazy in this but he looks adoreable!

Well done you and big hugs for Paco, he looks adorable! I love the first picture of you sitting with him, you both look so happy :)
 
Thank you everyone :D I'm so proud of him as even though he's teaching me to trust him I'm teaching him to trust me and his jumping has come a long way since we've been partnered together!
I had a lovely running plait on him but he kept shaking it out (five times we had to redo it!):rolleyes:
