Did the 3'6" eeep!

Turns out that my little mare realy can jump! wow!

The first part of the course was over small fences and then we had to open and close a gate, all of which didn't go down very well with Binky and we got off to a sticky start and had a couple of silly refusals (I forgot my spurs!) We then proceeded to get eliminated at a big step down which was on a very steep hill in the woods and was very scary (to be honest I didn't want to go down it either!) So we went around that and carried on.

Then the big jumps started and Binky started to enjoy herself and we flew over the rest of the course, some of which if you included the brush was well over 3'6" and she does tend to jump the whole thing (how do you teach a horse to brush through hedges?) We finished well and had a great day, I think she will easily go Novice eventing next year so very pleased with ourselves

(will post Prof pics in PG when they go up)

well done (again) bex, i was wondering about the brush thing aswell since H would also tend to jump over the whole thing, i guess its just practise and then they realise, think hunting prob helps alot get used to that aswell.
gosh that drop was steep wasn't it had a look whilst walking the novice and was gald i didnt have to go down it! i think you'll fly round novice after that course. lets hope my boy does the same round intros, see you there!!!
