Coblet went solo XC!!! *video*

Fab - did I see a little swerve before one jump - only noticed it as it looks very familiar this end !! hahaha, you both did great :D
 
Yeah sorry about the phone issue, YouTube won't let me change it :mad:

Thanks for the lovely comments, really proud of him! He used to tank off really badly and napp and rear, today has been the first time he had been on a 'big' cross country course on his own, our next task is in a group! I used to take him to a mini course, which is in only about an acre of land, all enclosed and really friendly which he was great at an jumped everything I there but I felt we needed to do it sometime, have a new bit to try and the more I do it the more he's going to think it's just another part of life, the same thing I had to do with his hacking and show jumping!

Shysmum- yes it was a very cheeky swerve before the bank! He usually does that then actually runs out, but then realised he wasn't going to get away with it!! :p
 
The Swerve must be in the genes, as Shy does excellent ones at full blast when he thinks a blade of grass is in his way. Used to come out the side door every time, but not any more, hehehehe !
 
Haha it's Gypsy's favourite trick! He's only ever managed to get me off once doing it, where he swerved away from a 3ft filler, and jumped the 3'6 guide pole sideways instead :rolleyes: then did a side to side jumpy thing, then I went out the side door!
 
I'm fully prepared for it now, and can prevent a lot of swerving, but back then he'd get me off, then come and stand by me munching, with the look of "you ok down there - nice day isn't it".

Coblets and their nappiness, eh - gotta love them for it ;)
 
Mine took napping to the extreme :eek: he wouldn't even hack out in company, would rear and gallop back :mad: used to have to be led everywhere, even between arenas, then not let go until all gates were closed :rolleyes:

He's 100000X better now though, and love him to pieces :D
 
He went round there so nicely, I didn't know of his history of naughtiness til after I'd watched the vid, hard to believe after watching that. You must be so pleased, well done.
 
Thank you! I can't believe he's the same pony myself either! He was a real star, even got him cantering away from my mum (he's attached to her like glue, like he's safe with her) and did a few jumps in a completely different field to her and out of sight! :D
