She's the best
Yesterday two HHO forumers came round for a ride and a trip to the pub and she was a little star- both had fun jumping her....I think!!
A couple of vids- LEC first then Seabiscuit, both rode her beautifully- whilst she's not difficult, she's opinionated and you cant dictate to her! They also rode a couple of others, we had good fun!

Then today we went to a lesson with Mark Phillips. Sister took new horse and jumped him first, had a super lesson and ironed out a couple of little problems. Then we shared a lesson with Odin and Moon and all I can say is WOW, my pony was awesome!! It was her first proper jump after her winter holiday and I live in constant fear that she will lose her lovely easy, loose jump but today she was on fire!
Spent some time on the flat being grilled first (Mark doesnt miss a trick, within seconds he knows all your faults and has a solution to them)e come away with lots of homework to do. We then jumped a few different things before popping round a course- first at about novice height which she jumped nicely, then he stuck them up to something approaching intermediate and she pinged
Odin was v good boy too, all our horses love Mark's style. He was v complimentary about my little Moon, said she'll go intermediate easily this year and that, with her jump, she could go all the way. Mummy needs to pluck up more courage though!
