It appears that cows can fly.....

Having mostly hacked, schooled and had a few jumping lessons over the last few years I am now being spoilt by having my lovely trainer and yard pal bring on Olivia while I am not riding. I knew she loved jumping as we had done a little bit before but the most was about a 2ft grid with a small spread involved.....

Today we had some fun in the school and she ended up clearing over a metre. 1.10 to be precise! Just a couple of times as we didn't want to push it but she was absolutely loving it. I really admire my instructor and feel so proud as she is finding Olive to be a very clever and sparky cob and it is very high praise indeed from someone who rides up to GP, I think when I moved to the yard everyone was expecting a happy hacking fatty cob and she is so much more (nothing wrong with happy hacking fatty cobs btw I'm just saying that there is a lot more than meets the eye with this one)

I am so pleased how she is coming on and it is becoming clearer everyday how much of a bargain I got.

And there was me thinking of giving up.....

Awww she sounds lovely
Sssssh, nobody tell Shils, but fatty cobs are often very scopy. Mine is a chunky 15hh beastie but she happily pops round a 1m - 1.10m show jumping, especially indoors! And she is fab x country! She went round a BE 1m course clear, including jumping into and out of a lake.
In the past we have had sniffy looks in the collecting ring but those same people have approached me after seeing her jump and been full of praise.
And she is a wonderful happy hacker too
Best of luck with your girl xxx
