We decided that yesterday we where going to pop down to the local Equestrian Centres fun new year show. For a bit of fun we decided to enter the Puissance . There where 7 starters in the class.

In the first round we where a bit worried as the fences where a little bit small for him. The wall was 90cm high and the triple bar was 90cm high and I cant remember how wide it was. He had a little look at it coming up to it but he popped over it fine

In the second round the wall was 1.05m high and the triple bar was 1m high and 90cm wide (I think). I let him get a little fast in to it but we managed to get over it

In the third round the wall was 1.20m high and the triple bar was 1.10m high and 1.30m wide. I got left behind jumping it but we jumped it clear.

In the fourth round the wall was 1.30m high and the triple bar was 1.20m high and 1.30m wide. unfortunatley we tapped a top brick and it fell fortunatley no one managed to get over it clear.

Sorry links are working, I did however have a nosey at your you tube video, I think I would jump anything if I was being screamed at going over every fence

 

[TinselTurkey]

haha he had a tendancy to stop and that got him over the jumps without kicking and smacking lol
