i have no idea... it wasn't me riding, it was a girl that used to jump him. i bought him whilst preggers so have never jumped him... am quite looking forward to it though. my friend has taken him round the clear round and an open class, and he's a lovely little genuine horse to jump.

p.s. moving tomorrow... may have to invite you round for a cuppa one day soon!

I would say ,exactly 4ft 3 inches a) because thats what I always say ,and b) because I am a man and therefore never wrong in such matters.Good luck with the move, hope nothing else starts to move at the same time.

Id say 1.15 - 1.20, 4ft!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

I'd say its been photoshopped!!

What are you doing on here

?? Go and pack a box woman......

 

[DunRoamin]

Slinky its NOT been photoshopped i was there, ran the yard Raf was kept at previously to clipclop buying him, Clipclop i have seen with my own eyes raf jump 1.25m loose, the girl riding in the vid is my VERY best friend of 19 years nd no she didnt used to jump him one of the lads on the yard did although she did take him to his first shows as she is the yard owners daughter and a bloody good jockey, The dulcet tones youu can hear say 'leave him' are my ex boss and trainer of 15 years. just out of interested who told you that story of his breeding u posted the other week?? oh yes that fence is 1.15m

a few people...

the daughter of the boss lady at the yard (emma?), plus the girl whos yard they sent him to to sell (vicky?)... they both gave the same story. plus his passport says geronimo... hmm... not that i care about his breeding particularly. i only care that he's such a darling.

i'm avoiding boxes. and packing tape. in fact, i may just refuse to leave my darling house... stoopid buyers don't deserve it. they are horrible....

off to bed now. not that i'll sleep... the baby is kicking so hard it's almost winding me. then, every now and again, she gives my bladder a good headbutt. lovely.

emma seemed sweet, i wonder if you know my friend then, she used to keep a horse or two there on livery. called Tania. she came from wales, is about 4 foot tall, and teeny tiny gal.

it's all a very long story about how i got raff, cos i originally saw him up at the other yard, and let's just say... he wasn't being treated very well. i was complaining to my friend Tania, saying it was unethical that he was being treated so badly, and that his owner had a right to know he wasn't being sold to his full potential (seriously, our viewing was comically awful, and he was stood knee deep in plop, starving). Tania said she used to know someone in Enfield where she kept her horses... turns out it was emma's mum (?) and that they were the people that raff was being sold on behalf of... big coincidence. i told emma that i would be happier buying from her, not the vicky girl. so emma got him home and we picked him up from there.

ha ha... 'stoner'... he is a bit 'stoned'.... except for on sponsored rides near sheep fields, when he perks up... and turns into grand prix dressage pony... oh, and he wakes up at food time too...

i'll have to send you some photos of him when he's all settled into his new house. if you speak to emma, tell her how much we all love him. he's a part of our family, and we're moving house a million miles away just so he can live with us.

speaking of moving house, i'd better go... move day today! x

haha, and i said... 3'7". what do i win?

clipcloppop, v v best of luck with your move, stay off your feet, you are allowed to lie back and delegate in your condition! give me a shout if you want a coffee!

 

[MurphysMinder]

Not going to enter the height of jump debate as it seems pretty well sorted, just wanted to wish you luck with the move, hope little one stays put for a few days longer to give you chance to get organised. Mind you I think moving house is taking the nesting urge to extremes a bit.

 

[PapaFrita]

I think it's about 4ft, possibly a bit bigger

 

[DunRoamin]

Thats cool clip clop, did she have a black pony called wizzard?? the only other tania i can remember is who had Cairo, Theresa's big clydie Cairo that was very sadly put to sleep :'(. nd that tania was very tall, I speak to em all the time, will prob see her tommorro. Greg is emma's mum's name. the only reason anything went to vicky is because we where always short of stables, so needed the room. yes on a yard the size of KO it is always full
