Have always loved Jen from her abfab days!

Anyone else pick up on the fact she says she's not ridden in 2 years and yet has a fit, clipped out pony all ready in her garden?!

Kim

Could be for any old reason really. Don't forget she's been pretty unwell recently so maybe a loaner?
 

I love my Spanish horse

shes been recovering from cancer so has probably had someone else to ride and look after him, im sure it would have helped her knowing he was out there any time she wanted a cuddle though :)

She's so right about Pony Club - when I first saw a rally in action after my break of around 13 years I was amaaaaazed at what the kids are allowed to wear these days! :)

Typical pony club mum, after nearly standing on her child picks her up by the arm, dust her down and throw her back on! :D

... Have also been looking forward to this all week and may or may not have planned my evening around it - had such a long day at work and was all excited about it

Unfortunately I'm sat in my house during a power cut with 3% phone battery and no candles waiting for the electricity to come back on :( :(

Grrrrr!

Damnit she's a bloody natural :mad: :D

Hee hee. Ever the TV cynic I think she's actually ridden a fair bit up to this point. The 'barely ridden the past two years' isn't exactly the same as coming back for the first time since childhood... ;)

Loving it, she's got all the little emotional connections just spot on. :)

I'd love a lesson from Tim Stockdale after watching that, he was so encouraging, can imagine he'd really fill you with confidence :)

Jesus, she's brave, that wasn't the type of iddy biddy crosspole I would have jumped after having all that time out of the saddle ... but with TS telling you do it and being on one of his super duper horses I suppose gives you te confidence!

Loving the program

No but given her health I highly doubt she'd been riding every day for the last 2 years and it is pretty quick to get rusty!

The quicker you throw them back on, the less they cry- mum and I are watching and we howled with laughter as it is SUCH a familiar scene! Right down to the pony leaping backwards going "Wasn't me!" :D :D
