[Disclaimer...not Hairy cob! He is in fact, a very very hairy cob [one in siggy]...but not our 'Hairy Cob' that you all know and love I'm afraid lol]
He is a dude. First 'proper' jumping today [had trotted over some small 2nd hole type crosses a couple of times the other week and lunged him over some small ones a few times] and he was just a dude!!!
Got to about 2ft9, though that was bigger than what I intended as didn't want to over-face him, but he was just so willing and absolutely loving it! Just popping into canter and going over them, rounded lovely, never touched them once,never backed off or thought twce, etc....just did them! Not even with me on him, I let my bosses daughter do it and both were fab! I couldn't resist and did have a sit on him and took him over a few myself haha....he was as comfy as he looked!
Then after, as he was clearly having a ball and being good as gold....took him out into the little grass paddock for a jump around over some the little XC fences that have been built there. Just a little tyre and log jump....but again, he popped straight over them, no questions asked!
He is such a DUDE!!!!!
I'm so happy and pleased with him. We've had him in to be broken since March time and he has just been the easiest horse on the planet. I want a billion ones of him. He is just the original all-round superstar. I may buy one of his babies!!!! Lol.
Sorry, pointless happy post!
