My little *embarrassing* show jumping report & pic

[Tiarella]

Well, Doug was an absolute IDIOT all day long

We started the day off like this. Obviously really excited!

Got there, he jogged along with his horsey friend and elizabeth_x on a horse she was riding. A few leaps fair enough, what else do you expect from a baby. Got in the ring to do the 1ft9

Got to the third jump decided he was having none of it bronked leapt and span around bombed off and I fell off

He galloped back to his friend who was rearing and spinning aswell

Spent about two hours then walking around trying to keep him calm and myself calm as I was very nervous after that, and entered the baby jumping to to see if I could get him over a few. Came away with two clear rosettes and he was finally a good boy

People were asking why the two little ponies were so naughty

It was embarrassing

My friends pony just would go, kept bucking little rears etc etc.

Remind me next time to take Oliver

Haha bless you!
Atleast he was good in the end though

Did you try the rescue remedy?

Btw, LOVE the first pic hehe

 

[Hemirjtm]

Poor you. At least you gotsome clear rounds...take the positive out of it

xx

 

[FFF]

I so did not laugh at that

You dont hear of many people fall in the 1'9

 

[3Beasties]

Ahh bless, at least you got a couple of clear rounds, more then I could have done!

He looks so cosy in his lovely deep bed!

Ah, first picture is sooo cute. If it is any consolation, two people fell off in the Friday night dressage league at our place the other week! At least you were jumping!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Well done!!

It seems he just didn't want to get out of his bed today!!

 

[Racing_Gal]

Lol that first pic made me laugh! Well done for getting back on and geting some clears, are they both babies?? I cant take my 2 to shows together they just call and nap to eachother and its more trouble than it's worth!

 

[Tiarella]

Yes Doug is 4 and Moo is 5

It was such a bad idea tbh!

They just kept calling and napping etc!

Haha yes h_c2

His stable is sooo thick and deep! The amount of straw I use coud last another horse a life time

 

[LadyRascasse]

aww never mind at least he was good at the end, he could have been like my girl today and that would have been awful.

and i ended diving out the side door twice today

What a lovely deep bed your horse has . Can't stand people who skimp on bedding !

Sorry , rant over

 

[Tiarella]

Me neither!!! Some people at my yard sprinkle a hand full of bedding on concrete
