My Ollie clinic report!

[Ash the arab]

I, too, was at Ollie's clinic today although we were in the group after BBS.
Well, as i'm sure BBs is, i'm still buzzing!
Joe was impeccably behaved,as usual!
We warmed up on the flat, using walk/trot transitions, leg yield and then canter work. Ollie was impressed with the leg yield - so was i - i've not really asked for it before!!
We started jumping in trot over a crosspole, then canter, then it was put to an upright.
We finished by jumping a course.
At the end he told me that Joe was ready to be pushed a bit further, and considering that was the biggest i've jumped him, he must of been ok!
Joe's dad had stopped for a quick look but ended up watching the whole session - i think he was a very proud dad!!
It was definately worth the money and i will be looking out for some more!!

YAY, Im sorry I didnt get to say hello hunny!
Joe is one very smart pony isnt he!!

I would love more training with Ollie, he was fab wasnt he next time i want to take winston too!

[Weezy]

Sounds like you had a ball too Ash

Joe IS a super smart horse and I would be v proud if he was mine too

Will let you know if another is planned!

He had me upping the tempo of our canter and it really made a difference coming into the fences. The problem with me is that, Joe is so big that i don't always realise our canter isn't up tempo enough, because we are covering so much ground!!

Well, i too had it filmed but now can't find the lead to connect to lappy

, although i have a feeling lappy hasn't got the correct port to plug into.

 

[Seahorse]

Cool

How did the hunting go?

 

[Ash the arab]

Didn't get there

Joe had a bit of a cough - nothing major - no discharge and it wasn't prolonged.
Then the area that was being covered was mainly arable so wouldn't have been the best of outings.

Your session looked very good with people of well matched abilities. I'm guessing Joe was the biggest horse in the group with a full clip?

 

[Ash the arab]

That was us! Sorry i didn't spot you!

 

[PaddyMonty]

Nice horse!

 

[Ash the arab]

Thanks! He has a bit of a transformation since he came back into work in october!
I think he is fab and am extremly lucky to have the ride!
