Broke my duck at XC

[pagancluf]

Self indulgent post coming.....

Just finished riding the University XC course this am for an hour. Never jumped anything other than a show jump in my life and was "bricking it" whilst warming up in the menage. Then crossed the road to face the following; pallasade, bank with jump at top, steps and tyre jump at 3 strides, ski jump, dog kennels and a 3' sleepers jump.

I went in with my teeth rattling, seriously considering wearing a nappy, and came out with a HUGE cheesy grin on my face. The horse I rode was a pure dude and didn't bat an eyelid at anything.

I am now officially addicted and want MOOOOOrree!!

Thanks - feel better now!
