Well, the 16.2 is my pony club camp horsey, lovely boy. We've got him while his owners are on holiday (including their trailer because he doesn't fit in ours :eek: )

Ross went first, he got in the ring and suddenly fizzed up. He was jumping really well until we got to a double, found out he doesnt like them and stopped at it, tried again and he went over the first, then completely trashed the second! Carried on, got to the XC jumps and to the wierd dog leg thing to a skinny brush, he got half way over then decided no, cue me almost going flying, hit my nose on his neck! Ouch! Tried 3 times, all different approaches but he would not go over it so get eliminated :(

Gypsy's turn and the wind suddenly picked up, went from being nice, hot and sunny, to really stormy, just as i jumped number 1! Long story short, he ran out of quite a few, but not the ones i expected him to?! He jumped the roll top, wall, corner and dog leg first time!!

No placings for obvious reasons, but I wasn't there for that, I just wanted them to get experience of new fences and just there for fun!

I've put all pics on a video and onto youtube, so TFC can't tell me off, even though I paid for them! ;)

Oh it was starting so well and then I see what you mean....but well done for staying on and as you say you know what you need to work on. Good luck and good for you to have a go.

I like your cob very nice horse!
 
Thank you, yep were going to our usual show jumping tomorrow night so will just take him indoors in the clear round and just pit the doubles really low for him, I just think he's quite green at it as he jumps the rest so well :) x
