My baby girl at her 1st show

[marinitagsd]

I'm so very proud of my baby so I thought I would share, she was 4yrs in May and what a star! Her natural jumping ability is superb. My instructor asked if he could do a little show with her so I thought great, no prob will do her good so we entered the 85cm class. Jesus........they where huge!!! I'm sure if the stick was put on them they were bigger! lol
She was so well behaved and took it all in her stride apart from her tail being in the vertical position!
I broke her this year and can't believe how much she loves being ridden.
I'm looking forward to taking her to camp in 2 weeks, love her to bits!
My instructor is not that heavy but VERY tall so makes her look really small. She measures just over 15.3 but still bum high.

lol I expected to see a little child on a pony

She looks lovely and makes a nice shape over fence.

lol Tequila, my horses are my babies!
Thanks, yes she does make a nice shape, I'm just getting used to her jumping style as her head disappears and her withers come back that high, they nearly hit you in the face!

like her, how young was she when you bought her?

Thanks for your comments everyone. She was nearly three when I bought her. Long reined and sat on her at the end of last year and then brought her back into work around March. She was 4 in May.
