My giant pony went to his first jumping show today. We obviously picked that local, quiet low-key show, Barbury International :D

[okay, so it was only 90cm arena eventing!]

The giant not only went out and greenly jumped around clear, but he also went and bloody won!!

Ah fab! What a debut :lol: He looks very comfortable in his surroundings :D You must be excited about him for the future?
 
Thanks all, very pleased with him indeed. No rest for the wicked though, he was up the gallops this morning .... these giants are a begger to get fit!!

I don’t have a proper stick but did do a makeshift job of measuring him last week and am fairly confident he is around the 172cm/17hh Mark. No one believes me though as he looks so much bigger.

He really shouldn’t be a keeper as I have the 2yo coming through but I think it might be a case of if I’m offered enough money he is sold, and if I’m not he stays.

Tiddlypom alas I cannot take credit, I do the flat & fittening and stick a proper jockey on to jump!
 
What a cracking boy, a real credit to both jockeys! Barbury really is the most beautiful venue, gutted I missed it this year!
