Let's see your competition horses!

[dafthoss]

Aww he's cute! I used to have a guy who looked like a bigger version of yours, a connie x ID dun. Awesome horse who would literally jump anything, was 16.1 but jumped like a pony

He sounds great fun, duns are great untill they have a bad day and every one remembers

I recognise those places. Fenning farm and Isleham. You must be my neck of the woods.

Lovely horse be the way

Yes we are cambs based, well when we're not at uni.
Thanks I am rather fond of him right now

 

[The Amber Gambler]

Hope these photos work, I am new at this! Also I hope that a couple of the images which are watermarked are allowed as I purchased the digital prints, if its an issue to the advertising please let me know and I will remove!

This is Ginger, have owned her for a year now, hoping to move up to Novice this year if the season starts well, she is TB mare and on the xc she reminds me that she is!

We have the 2nd round of trailblazers coming up for the 95 & 105, fingers crossed......

Gingers favourite discipline!

And this is Maggie, my 14.1 connemara x who is now 6 years old, bought her as a yearling as a companion and project and she has turned into a fab pony....

This was her first show cross, double clear & placed

Dressage is her weakest discipline but she is getting there...

And my favourite one of her.....

Really looking forward to this season, good luck to everyone and have fun

Oh go on then OP if you insist

My two boys:
Mister J, 15 year old pure bred arab, RC all rounder, will carry on pootling around at Novice dressage and 80/90cm SJ and XC in 2012:

And Roo, 5.5 year old Scottish Sports horse, will be competing BSJA, starting year with some prelims and then hopefully doing some novice dressage and maybe the odd ODE in 2012 all being well!

 

[ArcticFox]

is that crackenthorpe foursquare by any chance?

Yes, stable name Fozy

I have only had him a month, he has settled in well and is just lovely - his height is not a problem (mounting block is 1m high so helps ) and I've got used to it now.

I am very pleased I have a 16' by 12' stable

 

[Laura_Grey]

A bit different maybe...but still a competition horse

This was only my 2nd ride, may go someway to explaining the face!

 

[CambridgeParamour]

Kaiser- 4 yr old dutch warmblood stallion. Will be aimed at BD young horse classes and Lycetts young event horse class

Annnnd Rio- 16.3 oldenburg gelding. Has BD up to Elem, and SJ up to newcomers. This year will be aiming to go medium BD, and maaaaybe try an ad. medium

 

[ladyt25]

Well, one day I hope that Rocky will be my next competition horse - don't know what doing as yet, i guess it depends on what he turns his hoof to! I would like to think he'll show jump but also be able to do some lower level eventing (I'm too chicken to do higher level eventing!)

This pic was from july, his first outing - he was 2 then so i shall be starting to back him next spring/summer.

PM'd you

 

[Elfen]

Mine learnt to lunge easily but is struggling to get his head around long reining. Did you have someone walking at your boy's head to start?

Started off with tiny bit of lunging on one rein - then two, then straight onto walking behind. I've done quite a lot of ground work myself and lots of flapping round legs etc. he seemed to just know what to do! We've now long reined him out and about and anywhere new I'll walk beside him but otherwise he just strides out. Just hope he's as willing under saddle!

Gah... I can never resist an opportunity to post photos of my fabby wee Hopalong! These are some photos of her from 2010;

This and the galloping one (missed it quoting) are great shots Figjam

 

[ArcticFox]

I just LOVE hopalongs ears - they are awesome!

NICE! Good to see a bit of reining

 

[Firewell]

This my 'hobby' competition horse . We'll never set the world alight as I do it for enjoyment rather than serious stuff. He is a 2005 16.1hh TB Gelding. He is racing bred (raced only once) and we take part in all disciplines at a low affilliated level and RC teams level.

[Content removed] Note this is my picture, I brought it!

.

I love this thread, all the horses are beautiful .

 

[4faults]

This is my old girl Polly who was jumping 1.30s and doing AM dressage before she retired to be a broodmare

We sold the ones we had out competing last year

Louie

Skye
And we have two new ones which we hope will be out competing this year

17.3h 8yo Baden-wurttermburg who is goin from a showjumping career to dressage

Darcy 17.1h 7yo BWB by Broadstone Landmark who will do a bit of everything but mainly showjumping with my OH. Sorry for the massive overload :-0

This and the galloping one (missed it quoting) are great shots Figjam

Thank you, wish I was looking up in that one though, no idea what I was doing?! That was our first "fun" outing of 2011 (basically a trip in the trailer for Hopalong that didn't end up at the vets! ) and we both had a blast.

I just LOVE hopalongs ears - they are awesome!

They are indeed, I'm hoping that I can get some FigJam-HatCam shots with them on full display eventually this year! When I first got her she was in a massive field with lots of other bay horses so I thought it was just as well she had daft-shaped ears as it meant she was easy to pick out!

 

[Sarah_Jane]

My horse of a lifetime took me to advanced BE, 1.30 SJing and Medium dressage (vey badly on the latter) 13 now and hoping to do some OI's and 2** this year.

Then there is Pippa new to me in 2011 but showing huge promise eventing finishing the season eating up Novice

 

[ace87]

My boy <3
Bally is a 15.1 Connemara (yes over height but still very well bred, grade 2 reg connie) he's rising 9yrs and I've had him nearly 18 months. We started our competing this time last year at BD competitions at Intro and won our first show and have been competing Prelim since then and working at Novice at home.
Unfortunately he's out of work with liver disease at the moment, and has been off for 12 weeks but we're hopeful that we can bring him back into work in time to qualify for winter Regionals, area festivals and some local things like Chiltern & Thames again. This year he's won a huge haul of rosettes, a good chunk of prize money and we've qualified for Areas, CTR champs and many many other local champs He's super fun, but an opinionated git and isn't the easiest but I adore him!

With his buddy Vegas post CTR qualifier which he aced!

Working in at Patchetts

CTR Champs - this was when he first started to look/feel ill with his liver poor boy
[Content removed]

Very early working in pic from first prelim outing!

And some pics of what he reaaaaally loves...

Oh and we may have co-won the Best Fancy Dress prize at Canter for a Cure 2011....

 

[ace87]

This is Philip, a 14yr old by Jazz. Currently competing BD AM, training PSG. I don't have many pictures of him so this is not the best picture, there aren't many photographers at BD shows I find
[Content removed]
And this is Joey, a 4yr old by Master Imp who I bought in May this year unbroken:

Bouncy pony!

Sorry for the size of the pics, I can't work out how to reduce them!

 

[Lyssatra]

OMG!
Fantastic photos of gorgeous horses!

Haven't competed my girl since 2009 so no recent photos of her - but hoping to get back into it some day...competing is different out here, have to get a licence = passing a test based on riding flat & jumping and theory i think....Must look into it some more and see what excatly is involved!

 

[Super_Kat]

Woody!
This was at the world cup semi finals playing for South Africa who WON

Ruby
At the national championship C-grade finals which we won after we got swapped around and I scored the winning goals

And both of them just before we loaded up for nationals

[vam]

Meh might as well join in
Not a proper comp horse as we never seem to get going but i like competing and he needs to be good at something other than sleeping
The plan was to jump fox on him one day but who knows if we will get there, im learning lots thou.

This prob helps explain why we wont be setting the world alight (other than my lack of talent ), he is soooo highly strung, i just cant do anything with him without him stressing but he is a bit of a dude so i dont mind
