So, in preparation of our first showcross tomorrow we went for a bit of xc schooling today. As usual, mother didn't get videos of any of the bigger fences that were about 90!!! I was pleased with the way she jumped today, and I've put together a few little videos.
She was awesome, given she won't have been cross country schooling for a long time! Wish us luck for tomorrow! Then we'll be having a good few days off jumping!! She had the day off yesterday and so was a bit full of it when I took her to tie her up this morning. She spooked, put all her weight down one hoof as she pivoted around... on my right toes!! OUCH!! It bloody hurt
So cue some DIY medical service from my lovely YO i.e. a bucket of cold icy water to put my foot in. After a long soak in the cold water I put my boots back on and got her ready while hardly able to walk! Mother, who is a nurse, suspects a broken toe. Excellent.
It caused me consistent pain while I was riding but I still really enjoyed myself. She was brilliant
