George and I jumped our first ever round today!

[Gorgeous George]

Mind you we nearly didn't! We went to Brook Farm for a jumping lesson with a friend and my usual instructor, when we got there George was a bit spooky at all the new sights and when I saw all of the proper show jumps I had a bit of a panic attack

so to start with I didn't even want to trot over a pole on the ground

with lots of encouragement and George looking after his Mum we manged about 4 rounds of 9 jumps, it wasn't stylish and they were only 1ft 6 cross poles but we did it

I even started to smile towards the end

So another first for us.

Well done! Don't be bothered about them only being 45cm. I do clear round sometimes and thats all i jump! There's me on hovis the Destroyer in with kids on ponies that don't come up to his knees!!
You're doing really really well! Well done George too for looking after his mum

 

[JessPickle]

Well done you, I am still trying to get the guts to go on a small local show and do a 2ft or less course. I will jump 3ft + at home but shows scare me!!!!!

You just have to perfect the egg and spoon race and you will be in the running for everything!

Well done!

Well done you and George!
