Oh dear, I seem to have been Showjumping - with pics and video

[madhector]

Well after giving Squeezy (Catherston Nutcracker) a jump yesterday we decided it was time to go showjumping again, having not been out in over a year (been just doing pure dressage). So we took him out today to jump round the 70cm and 80cm, however we missed to 70cm so entered to 80 and 90 instead, having no idea whether he would jump fillers or doubles etc...

Anyway after 1 stop at a filler in the 80cm he flew round the rest, then pinged round the 90cm and got into the jump off. Ended up 3rd

This pony has so much scope it is scary, you dont feel like you are on a 14.1hh thats for sure!

90cm -

jump off... (these did look quite big to me sitting on a pony...)

And the video of the 90cm...

Plan is now to go XC schooling, and then maybe some eventing....

Thanks for reading

They may have looked big to you - but clearly not to him

He looks amazing fun. Eventing sounds like a plan!

 

[PorkChop]

Love your pingy pony, well done

They may have looked big to you - but clearly not to him

agreed, he's giving them enough air! He looks like so much fun, wish I could fit on a 14.1, they are so much more nimble than great big horses!

He makes that look so easy! He really looks like fun Well done!

Haha, he is very cool, but you cant have him im afraid

So much easier on a pony

he looks like a bouncy ball of fun

 

[madhector]

he looks like a bouncy ball of fun

He feels like one! Theres me trying to be all calm and controlled, and he was having none of it! Seems to work for him mind

 

[ester]

well he is a pony, of course he knows best!

 

[PapaFrita]

He looks amazing fun, well done

 

[Laafet]

What a jump, he looks a real pleasure to ride. Can't wait to see him over solid fences!

 

[tabithakat64]

Well done, that pony is a bit good

 

[Ferdinase514]

He is an amazing pony! Who'd have thought he'd be the one to drag you back jumping....!!

Breathes a sigh of relief - Madhector hasn't turned into a 100% dressage diva after all . Eventing is definitely the way to go - pity you're a bit too old for pony trials though

 

[Ferdinase514]

Do you think they'd notice if I tried to sneak her in to one...?

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

Wow look at him go! Looks like great fun and he sounds like a wonderful pony! Well done on the frilly

 

[tinap]

Wow!! Clearing them by a mile!!

Well done xx

 

[JessPickle]

He is amazing So wish I could ride ponies looks like so much fun

 

[measles]

He looks great fun and so very scopey. Wasted on dressage I think

 

[LEC]

I think you will have some serious fun eventing on him! Maybe pony squashing is the answer as they always seem to be tougher than horses!

Definitely! (Said whilst gripping wooden desk).

Cant wait for MH to take him XC schooling. Hope he likes it as much as SJ.

Me too....is very strange owning a horse(pony) that I cant ride! Although saying that, he'd have me on the floor in a second....is v sharp.

 

[ecrozier]

He's so cute. Are you planning to keep him long term? I bet he has a real sense of humour - looks full of character!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Never know what might happen - but generally plan is for him to stay. He's not an easy pony for a child and he has some "habits" lets say....

He is a total character though and we adore him

 

[ecrozier]

Very cute, and looks like a very fun allrounder!

Haha! It is really, wish I had had him when I was a teenager

 

[Princess Jess]

He looks like so much fun! Can I steal him?
