Hmmm don't think Pidge was really making an effort do you?

Ok so I have full permission to post these from Bill, couldn't choose which ones so bought them all, on CD :D From Eland unaff ODE last Sunday, 80cm class.
I love the SJ ones as he seems to be so much neater in front now and giving them plenty of air :) and the XC ones he doesn't seem to be struggling at all or is it just me?
Any constructive advice appreciated as always, I have been working on my contact and not having such a tight hold though it is difficult when he's so keen! Oh and does anyone know why he is getting white spots on him? One at the top of his neck, under his right eye and on the top of his off fore leg

Fab pictures, he's definitely ready to move up the next class for the HT, he's barely making an effort over some of those!

Look forward to cheering you on in the Intermediate ;)
 
Thanks and ok there I've committed myself now we'll have a bash at the Int HT in October................ :eek:
 
Thanks, will do :) Don't think Toytown has anything to worry about but nice to think Pidge is in good company :D
 
Hee hee his head will get even bigger if I tell him he's like Toytown he already poses for the camera - if you look you can see him looking at the camera person rather than the next jump, me I rarely spot where the camera person is XC :rolleyes:
Thanks I think the water one is another good one too, and yep definately finding it too easy now
 
Thanks, he enjoyed himself very much! going to try the intermediate HT in October as its a mix of the BE90 and BE100 fences I think?
 
I do love the Pidge - he reminds me so much of a horse I used to ride :D You're looking better and better everytime you post pics.

How's the dabbling foot into BE going?
 
thank you very much it is nice to gradually improve and I'm always super critical of myself, only because I want to get better mind :p
BE, Retired part way round XC at Rodbaston, Wolverhampton SJ pants and had to have 2 breathers XC due to heat and my asthma, Eland fab just one down SJ and Stafford clipped 2 SJ as was far too cocky jumping and had a brief stop XC at the sunken road (causes carnage for no apparant reason) and hadn't got our mojo back so had a stop at hedge on top of hill. Dressage improving but most of all we are going out there having a bash and having some fun too x However my SJ/XC trainer did remind me last week that my aim this year was to do a BE80 and I never did it as Pidge had his hock spavin so we just got on with it and went straight in at BE90 :D
 
You both look fab, what lovely pictures! Well done for doing so well :)

Could I be rather cheeky and ask where you got your blue tape for your boots from? It's the EXACT shade I want for mine to match my XC colours!! :o
 
thanks its so nice to have a horse that loves his jumping :D
PF, Ah I didn't know Antifaz had them as well! So Pidge is in good company then, he's only had one last year but this year well they keep on appearing :o
Blue tape was bought in a pack of 3 from poundland, red blue and green.
Mrs M, no worries, let's hope we have later times next time round
