I decided that as Mustard has been so settled and happy in his work, it was about time he went and learnt what his new life is about.
He last raced in the summer and has since been turned away before being bougt back into work approaching 2 months ago.
I've done 3 jumping sessions with him- the last one being yesterday when I thought it may be an idea to jump some fillers/planks before today!!
Anyway, picked a nice quiet venue and went for the clear round. He was an angel to tack up, walked in the indoor school no fuss (1st time indoors) and warmed up like a little pro.
Went in and started off in trot but he picked up caner and away we were- straight over evrything including his first double. Finished with a clear round (and a rosette
)
Went straight round again and he got a bit cocky this time so had a rail.
Was so, so impressed by his attitude- he's not spooky, he loves to jump and once he has fully sussed what to do when he gets in close I think he's going to have a nice jump. It was only 2ft nothing but it's a start!!
