I have never actually posted competition reports on here, but I thought I would give it a go seeing as I am very pleased with the nag! :) We dragged the ponio to the fernie hunter trials, and planned on doing the pairs with a friend of mine to get him going before an ODE next weekend :)

Both ponies flew around, perhaps a little faster than I would have liked (actually around 40 seconds faster than anyone else, Whoops!), minus a few sticky moments at the log (see video major spook going on!) I did however think I would share some piccies and also a link to our helmet cam video!

We finished 2nd overall as the pairs was judged on 'style', so the judge must have been crazy ;) We did however jump nearly all fences 'together' which I think helped!

Very sorry that the piccies are too big but I don't know how to make them any smaller! xxx
OH :O And Piggy french was in my class! Jaw dropped somewhat when I heard over the commentary, even got a smile when I was in the warm-up!

Cookies to all those that read!

Lovely pics and pair jumping!!

Your helmet cam vid is as near as I will ever get to jumping solid fences (I'm a big wimp!)

Please can you send me a link to buy a helmet cam, I want to video my sedate pottering around on the flat!!
 
Brilliant report, and I loved the hatcam footage - looked like you had so much fun! :D

Hope you don't mind me mentioning it, but your saddle looks to be lifting at the back wuite a bit while you're jumping.
