Mum didn’t tell me I was going out today she said it was next week but turns out next weeks not happening now

So Taxi man took me to this OTECC thing I was a very good boy and didn’t squish mum today when she was tacking me up :D

Well I’ve never been an Indoor arena in my life – Who knew they existed?
I think mum needs one as I kept nice and dry all day :D

Mum said she posted about what colour ribbon she should put in my tail – I told her it should be yellow or turquoise as that’s our colours and it would be silly to clash but she didn’t listen and ended up putting a red one in (how embarrassing!!)

She wasn’t sure if I would be naughty but I’m such a good boy I behaved perfectly – the scariest moment was when this mini-horse jumped and then turned so it headed to me I thought it would be better to stand still and watch it as it looked shifty!!!;)

But there was loads to look at- my eyes hurt now!! i need some of these: :cool:

We had to wait and then I went into this other room which was much bigger with loads of fences and people looking in from all places – there was even this bit that had glass and there was people behind just like my horse box!

Well I told you I’m clever I went round really well I wouldn’t go into canter to the 1st fence but then mum told me to canter on

We finished with 2 fences down – one was mums fault – I picked my feet up but she didn’t :mad:– silly mum
The other was mine but it was fence 13 and I was mighty tired by then – plus im sure I’d already jumped that fence:confused:!

Other horses weren’t as clever as me and it turns out I was rather quick – I told you I’m a racehorse!! And I won a 4th rosette and now mum says I’m going to a championships at Aintree at Christmas :D
It sounds very exciting but I do hope I don’t miss Santa I want my carrots I don’t trust that Beastie she’ll raid my stocking:eek:!!

Grass and green-slaver for friends xoxo :)

Here’s my 1st picture that mums bought – told you I could be pretty!

And here’s my video:


Mum says I’m still gangly and wobbly in places but I don’t stop and she was mighty impressed of my flying change towards the end after we jump the box with the black round circle on the back! ;) another clever move eah! :rolleyes:

What do you all think? If your nice you can be my friend :)!
 
Yay go Harley :D! Well done, looks like you are just getting better and better, I hope you got lots and lots of extra carrots for qualifying and hopefully the beastie is still talking to you as well!

Are you still heading my way next week or not? PP says no wonder you're a bit gangly at times - just look how far your feet are from your brain ;)!
 
that looks great! I was interested to watch your video as I am going to take my 4 year old to one in a couple of weeks time and wasn't sure what to expect from the course, and although it looks really long and I may get lost (!) at least the fences look nice!
Lovely jump over the last, well done on qualifying!
 
Hiya,
Was this at Richmond, saw that there was one there today. Looks interesting, what height class was that? Do you know if they only do one per year?
 
jumptoit - I think PP will be a scary monster in Harleys eyes - He doesn't understand what ponies are i think he thinks there giant dogs :p
Will PM you later in the week with our Greenland plan :)

mil - it was a longer course than i was expecting :eek: luckily they flow so if you forget you just have to remember which number you jumped last :) good luck with your chap and hopefully see you at the finals too :D

lizness- Yup its Richmond We only did the A2 sadly they only do this once a year but hold at different venues - Holmside was going to be next week but its been cancelled :(

diggerbez- thankyou but sadly ***whispers**** He's 5 not 4 :eek: although I'm blaming his weakness/ gangliness on the fact he was only broken in this year so I guess he's only in his 4yo education ;)

OIM thankyou i will pass your comment over to H tomorrow - its sleepy time now :p

ahhh yes the scary stuff that would be the other ponies, the haynet tied on a horsebox, the gate post and the pink water bucket (blue ones are fine) :p
I told you he's special :D:D
