That coloured is awesome, it's not jumping, it's on springs

 

[Centauress]

Thanks Rebels....

9 Hands= 36 Inches So what Do You think, does 70cm's sound Too High?
Thanks All

 

[Centauress]

Is 70cms To High for about Right?
Thanks All

 

[Patterdale]

Bit high for your average Shetland I think

Does 50cm's sound Better? as Pony is Only 9 Hands....
Thanks

I'm Asking This as I WANT to get This Right Remmbering This is Pony is Only 9 Hands High....

If You came across a 20cm round branch and Wanted to Jump it How Would You Do it Walk, Trot, Canter the last Few Strides and Then Pop it Or Could it be done just in Trot?

Thanks All

 

[Patterdale]

For something that size I think you could just pop it in trot
How's prowl?

Mine jumped a 3ft fence with a two stride run up... In a heavy combo. Twice in one day.

 

[kellybee]

She's 9.1hh

 

[Centauress]

Was it a Straight up?
I'm Thinking of How Wide as well... A 20cm Round Log...
Thanks

Just a standard half round rail to pen her away from the grass.

IIRC the Shetland grand national fences are about 70cm, and they have ponies that small from time to time in it

 

[Centauress]

OK Thanks Guys

Personally I'd be wary about teaching them to jump at all.My old one was an escape artist as it was, as are all the others I have know. Teaching them to jump is just giving them more opportunities!

But they do look cute jumping,so if you do teach them please put piccys or a vid up.
