Another Gushy Post- Tweseldown Cross Country Schooling! (photo overload)

[LiffWee93]

Took the little ginger pony to tweseldown monday for a bit of schooling we havent done cross country at all since hunting, and for about a year otherwise! so a little rusty - but he was FAB! i let him down a few times, through my nerves and just failing to ride *mental slap*, he was fantastic, and jumped everything i asked, when i actually rode him at it...
a few pictures for you all - i am aware my position is awful, i was trying to stay on most of the time- cross country in a showing saddle is not the easiest

(sorry, links as do not have photobucket)

First jump of the day- http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/380758_10150987188284586_1482059268_n.jpg

Lovely lovely pony! Reminds me of Asbo (who is also a ginger forester). Who is your boy by do?

 

[JFTDWS]

This one is particularly epic

[Mariposa]

Lovely photos! Love the one of you up his neck - well sat!

 

[LiffWee93]

Ohh fab! Thankyou JFTD! Didn't realise that my boy is by Farriers Fair Chance a lot of peveril in his lines he was an utter legend if I do say so myself, thankyou for your lovely comments x

 

[emma.is]

what a dude

 

[Tiarella]

He looks so much like my pony, shame they don't have quite the same technique, mine would bronk me off way before I get to the jump!

 

[LiffWee93]

Thankyou guys he is indeed a dude - nothing phases him at all and Rachaelstar - he used to buck in excitement before and after every fence haha, bless the ginger- was a little hair raising at times though!

 

[Oddjob's Wife]

Fabulous! You both looked good and he seemed to be enjoying himself.

 

[LiffWee93]

He loved having a good chance to have a run around

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Fab.

[redredruby]

What a fab jump he has - looks great

 

[Princess Jess]

He looks lovely, some great pictures there...I can't believe he's only 14.1, he looks so much bigger!

 

[LiffWee93]

In the flesh he really doesn't! Ha, he's only a little one
