diference between will's horse and Paul's there, Will's is taking a bit of organising whereas Paul's seems super quickly adjustable. The difference that all that experience makes I guess. Great so see Will home though, a fab debut :)

Will’s horse looks really pleased with himself! Made me laugh lol. It was a bit “all that fuss over nothing” :p

Good observations-two lovely horses and great riders

There’s just something about a grey horse...

Meanwhile, I've got nearly a decade on him and, while I love a bit of xc, I can't handle the pressure of competitions, and even an 80 would give me the shudders :p

hehe, I'm the opposite. Don't mind competing and the pressure at all, but non-showjumps and fences over 80cm look scary! I do wonder how much of that was B being scary jumping non-showjumps and over 80cm though.

Of course! We’ll have a champagne fuelled fun ride followed by a party. Plenty of stabling for anyone who wants to come along. Send me your address for a gold stamped wax sealed invite :p

On it’s way :p
Also I want to jump the Xc with Billy, he’d love it!

Ah well indeed - on the right horse, everything comes together and seems much more achievable...

I jumped a little log pile out hacking the other day on my youngster, and she took it on bravely and gave it some space, so obviously I'm now aiming her at Badminton 2020 :p
