Seems im out of action still dad has been left in charge in keeping beastie occupied and fit ready for me when i can finally get back on
Its all been going suprisingly well with dad taking her out hunting a few times and enjoying himself (which is nice as he hasn't been out for a few seasons since his mare passed away) But now huntings winding down a bit he's asked to do a bit of showjumping with her!
So thought id put up a little course for him (80cm ish beasties been doing 1 15/1 20 over winter so easy for her) to see how things went before he went and payed for his reg
well lets just say i was
........ pooing myself!!!!
He just galloped the whole course beastie was taking off at stupid strides which made me
as spent many days and hours working on balancing and remaing calm towards a fence
after a rather long argument we finally agreed he needed some lessons before letting loose on the sj world for his and beasties safety really as well as trying to preserve my hard work
So really looking for someone who can explain to an old man that there is other speeds than gallop and that he's no ruby walsh/ john whittaker lol
Any ideas will be great thanks guys
ps were in NYorks so anyone in/ around Yorkshire/Cumbria/Northumberland really
