Had such a poopy week 
so disheartened tbh as hes been going soooo well the past couple of months.
Started with Thurs jumping sess. Popped Speeders round some wee 90s and all was good apart from he was backing off a bit and getting to close but clearing them. Went at the double but Speedy misjudged the width of the spread and hammered through the back rail, then attempted bucking me off
he thinks hes a hoot sometimes haha. Well got off to put it back up and noticed he cut both hinds during the incident, but he was grand so got back on and went for the vertical 90 and he stopped! Probably lost a bit of confidence after previous jump and we had the wrong stride but he usually jumps anyway! But he jumped it fine after that and jumped the double beautifully at 1m 
. Then on Fri we were schooling in the field and he spooked at a shadow and well lets say there was no hope me staying on lmao but got back on and continued but he was soo spooky which he isnt usually! But today kinda put the cherry on the cake so to speak! ... I planned on doing some wee 70s and 80s to give him more confidence and he stopped at a 70 
shocked is not the word! But i think it was because he was to busy looking at the show in the field above the arena rather than the jump, although not an excuse! .. although i think this was the prob as he was running at the jump the other way which he also doesnt do! so went to the indoor and he popped the wee jumps grand, no spooking or backing off etc. But hes not a natural jumper and we find it difficult to get the right stride into anything especially smaller jumps for some reason! Just in general abit peeved at this as he hasnt refused a jump in over a year and he is usually soo honest ... but on a good note he has put on weight over the ribs and you cant see them anymore but yet he doesnt look fat! Hes also got more muscle over the top of his neck and bottom and shoulder 
il have to put pics up
anyone else had a crappy week, pls say im not alone lol
