Boggle’s comeback

That looked brilliant!

If it makes you feel better, I once even made them commentary when I was verbally encouraging the horse round a course :eek:. It was a reluctant horse, so I was cheering him on even before the fence, then again afterwards. o_O
 
There were 3 for definite you were quiet - 2, the one before the water, and the drop ?
I think its great - so many of my jumping photos are me pulling awful faces because I'm mid way through a good boy.

Oh yeah super quiet at those ones, ha! I fully expected him to put an extra stride in before the water and it felt like I got launched into space but looking at it, clearly not ha!

I had that at my first ever BE with Basil, the commentatory was laughing as I was going round...

Still I reckon they appreciate it ;)
 
That was so fantastic to watch! I love how enthusiastic he is - and I love hearing you praise him. He clearly appreciates it, and you have a great parnership. I wish more riders would praise their horses, especially when the horse has made a particular effort.(physically or mentally)

Me too! I’m so vocal it’s ridiculous. No wonder I’m out of puff at the end, or that’s what I tell myself (unfit!). I ‘good boy’ our way around every xc course.

loved the video. Super partnership!

May be a silly question from a devoted hacker. But when I speak to the horses I ride, they turn their ears round towards me. Wouldnt that slow down a horse and divert attention from the jump ahead?

No idea! But I suspect horses are pretty capable of listening to my drivel and jumping at the same time. I follow the Michen school of performance - it’s over and after the fence, not before it ?
 
Thank you! He is just so much fun, I don't think there's a horse with a more cheerful disposition going around an XC :D

He's extremely pleased with himself even now! It's funny how the dynamics have changed over the years, when I first got him he was incredibly needy and clingy, almost like a dog. Now he knows that it's me who worships him!

Doesn't mean he doesn't still get the odd crack on his arse when he's being a tit out hacking though.
