Flying orange pony tackles a big hedge!

That looks awesome! Welshies all the way

I've had a welsh cob pony, 13.2hh and went round pre novice, and Tam is basically a big welsh cob. Can you tell I like welshies? LOL.

As someone that hacks by that hedge, I can testify to it being a serious hedge. What the pictures don't show is how seriously wide it is. In fact it is ridiculously wide!
Smashing set of pictures and a cracking jumping machine you have there.

i used to hack by it often, but never paid it any notice as wasn't into hedge jumping on my old pony. Cant say I noticed how wide it was when flying over it either! Felt like a long time landing though! What a buzz.

He mustn't have done much hunting in Ireland or he would have tried to put down on top of that hedge!!

no ,he never hunted in Ireland. He came over to Wales when he was a baby and then hunted in Wales until he was 5 when he came to England and someone tried to make him show-jump which he doesn't think too much of. Then I got him when he was just rising 6. Had him 2yrs now and loving him! This is his 2nd season with the draghunt and it's fabulous - most fun I've ever had.

Seriously impressive jump on him!! I would buy a BIG version of that pic and put it up everywhere!!

Just a quick reply to Tabledancer and KatB [who's comment I found quite rude] -

Tabledancer, you must have misread my post because I am a big advocate of cobs CAN jump, and get tired of people saying they can't. My friends cob, who I was referring to in that post you were referring to, is a serious eventer / hunter / pony club allrounder, who I have seen jump some huge fences. He's jumped a 5ft oxer, and having ridden him as well, I know he's not easy.

Please don't accuse me of being an anti cob, because I am all for them, and love to see S go out in his full coloured gypsy cob state, mane and feathers flying, and sticking two up at those that say he can't. I am also trying to persuade my friend to take her 'cob' eventing, because she has a cracking pop, and even Claire Lomas said she should go. I teach this girl and her cob, and have had them over 1.15m, and I am more adamant that she would go higher than the actual rider is.

Saw the photo in your sig yesterday and thought "what a fab pony". Hes got a cracking jump - maybe you'll have to leave the dressage behind and make a jumping pony out of him!!

As I have just replied to in a PM, the comments were meant as tongue in cheek. As I have just replied to you, perhaps stop taking yourself so seriously and you may see the funny side to some "tongue in cheek" comments.

What awesome pictures, I am SO impressed It really does make me wish I wasnt such a wimp , the pics of someone jumping the tiger trap after you (I think that sort of fence is called a tiger trap?) look fab too, the fence looks so inviting if you are brave

It also makes me wish I still had my section D from 12 years ago, he walked all over me at the time but if I had him now, knowing what I know now...

 

[amandaco2]

certainly an allrounder!
