For any BH fans out there. Jumping pics

[Jesstickle]

The big lump went out jumping today. On paper it wasn't brilliant but I was very pleased with him considering there were some scary fillers out, he had to load on to a new lorry he's never been on before and he had to warm up in an indoor. He showed his green-ness but overall he tried hard and I'm happy.

Friend I was with jumped two double clears on her lovely grey pony so we were all very pleased.

Links to photos so I'm not impinging on anyone's IP. I hope the work, they do on my PC but you never know

85cm warm up class (we meant to jump the 75 but arrived to late. Doh!)

And then 95cms ( a much more appropriate size for BH and he'd done his spooking by this point so I could actually get into canter )

Ah lovely BH (what is his actual name? I've always wondered lol) Wish I could get Ethel out and about but we always have some sort of problem

 

[Jesstickle]

Sort of like Nitty then

BH stands for Brown Horse, he is really called Bradley. And he doesn't have a grown up name yet and I hate Bradley so have always called him Brown Horse or BH

 

[tonitot]

Exactly like Nitty, I think the only difference between Nitty and Ethel is their colour!

I love the name Bradley! But I like weird names for horses haha, Brown Horse is also cool though

 

[Jackson]

Is it weird that I always thought of him as a 'Brad' when I read your posts before? I love him

 

[Lolo]

He's lovely You both look very smart. Love his knees, he's like a WHP!

 

[Puppy]

Ahh, clever Brown Horse I especially like the first photo in the 95 cm - tidy in front and happy ears

 

[monkeybum13]

Very good BH, I love him!

Oo, perhaps you're telepathically linked to my horse or something

He's lovely You both look very smart. Love his knees, he's like a WHP!

It's funny because I don't usually think of him as a tidy jumper, he isn't at home! He must have a sense of occasion as he looks pretty neat in all of them really?

Ahh, clever Brown Horse I especially like the first photo in the 95 cm - tidy in front and happy ears

He's never happier than when he's at a party Puppy. You know how he is at home, happy being miserable and with a face like a smacked bottom! Take him out and he's jolliness personified.

Very good BH, I love him!

Someone has to!

 

[muddygreymare]

He's looking great! He's gorgeous, I might just have to steal him

Oh I don't know. I heard he's been finding ways to entertain himself at home recently

 

[Ranyhyn]

I love the BH!!

 

[dafthoss]

Cleaver BH I like the first one in the bigger class and the one with his rosette.

You do make me laugh Poor BH!

He looks great in all of them - but he makes the jumps look tiny Very tidy in front. Also, weren't you complaining about your lower leg a few months back? 'cos it looks pretty good too (I'm jealous).

High five to the Brown Horse

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Now bear in mind I know naff all about jumping......

But I think he looks good in the photos

Yes, he does make them look tiny. Which is annoying as they were massive when I walked it and came up to my hip and I thought I was being very brave even contemplating jumping them. And then they look tiddly in photos!

I really don't like my lower leg over fences. But at least the horse is stylish

Thanks Slinks, I know naff all about jumping too. We should start a club!

 

[Jesstickle]

Especially for you JFTD...

My mother has just posted on my facebook (about the photo everyone likes so much of him with his pricky ears over the multicoloured poles) ' do you have wings instead of toes?'

No well done or how are you or anything. Just that. I thought you might like to know.

 

[JFTDWS]

Oh dear I'm now killing myself laughing Which probably answers the "horsey people / cruel sense of humour" thread too She is legendary

As for making the jumps look small - you can tell they're massive, if you look at the wings and perspective and such, but he does look like they're still little more than trot poles for him You'll need to start BS-ing over 1.20 or something to get them to look big

 

[Jesstickle]

I should get you a screen shot. Or if you do facebook you're free to add me so you can see all her comments for yourself

 

[JFTDWS]

Oooh I can cyber stalk your mother... How creepy is that?!

 

[Jesstickle]

She wouldn't mind! Although if you stalk her properly you'll be disappointed. She doesn't say things like that to anyone but me! I must be her favourite

 

[Polo*Pony]

He looks lovely

 

[dafthoss]

HA I have just checked the photo on fb your mother is funny (I'm not a stalker honest) but even she admitted she was being a little harsh this time. Definatly her favourite for her to come up with such comments .

Oh and completly unrelated but has lolo been banned again?

 

[Jesstickle]

HA I have just checked the photo on fb your mother is funny (I'm not a stalker honest) but even she admitted she was being a little harsh this time. Definatly her favourite for her to come up with such comments .

She did, then 2 seconds later she felt the need to clarify further that the horse is better than me! She's so horrible to me. Waaaahh!

 

[Jesstickle]

Yep, apparently she has!

Come back lolo, we miiiissss you!

 

[JFTDWS]

I have added you though I draw the line at "really" stalking your mother - that would make me even stranger than I'm prepared to admit I am

What is Lolo doing that's so offensive? I can't work it out :/

 

[dafthoss]

Ha just been back (must stop or JT will think I'm stalking her) BH is a product of you so you must be doing something right eh? Are you two like this when your together? can imagine it being funny with both of you arround.
I do think I would be to scared to ride in front of your mother for fear of what she would say or at least be thinking even if she didnt say it .

Come back lolo we miss you

 

[Jesstickle]

she'd be nice to you dh. She is actually a lovely lady and I count her as a friend as well as my mum. But she is definitely my biggest critic!

 

[JFTDWS]

n'awwwwwwww they wuv each other weallllly

 

[Jesstickle]

JFTD, I don't have a friend request? Did you add some other Jess by mistake?
