the derby is so unique I guess its hard to replicate what the horse will be confronted with, at home.

Oops - perhaps smacking the horse like that wasn't the best idea..

 

[katherinef]

God thought horse was going to rear right over!!

 

[Rachel_M]

[katherinef]

only person in my house whose interested so its nice being able to chat with other interested bods who are watching!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Bloody hell I thought she was going to go over!
Think smacking her that hard wasn't the best idea.
Just wondering why she was riding the horses head into her chest on her way out, surley it would have been better on a long rein she may have chilled out a bit?

 

[sunflower]

I'm the only person in my house full stop. I agree, it is nice to be able to 'chat' about it

 

[Happy Bird]

Another stunning horse ! I missed it - is that Will Funnell ?

 

[katherinef]

[katherinef]

[katherinef]

What a lovely neat jumper this grey horse is, really picking his feat up.

 

[katherinef]

this grey looks scopey

 

[katherinef]

ah bad luck at the bank!

 

[Happy Bird]

Oopsie no brakes !

 

[katherinef]

yes he's quite a forward going type isn't he

 

[sunflower]

Possibly a good thing he's not using the contact lens - he'd probably have put it in the wrong eye!

HAHA

 

[jesterfaerie]

Boyram looked never even to attempt to jump the first part of the double, stunning horse though!

The grey before was a lovely jumper and it is a shame about Will

 

[katherinef]

this one Joe Whitaker is on looks a spooky type - did well to sit out those stops

 

[moon_drop]

He was never going to jump it the first time was he?

Lovely grey before him!

 

[Rachel_M]

You know, I would hate to be the ground staff who have to sort the ground out, once this has all finished. By the end of the class it will be a mud hole.

Moon, I agree.

 

[jesterfaerie]
