...well I am so glad I didn't sell Titan. After our eventing antics going very badly wrong for a few events I got to a real low point and I considered selling him as I had it in my head that he was far too good for me and deserved somebody better. Anyway here are out pro pictures (I have permission to post) from our one day event at the weekend. Leaving us 3rd and team 2nd, with us only rolling a pole in the showjumping (our worst phase!) :D :D

So how do you think he is looking? :) (sorry for the size of pictures not quite sure how to resize them yet, well above my head!). :p

I can offer anybody how can give me some CC a bar of galaxy, or for those looking for a healthier option a half eaten apple ;) :p
 
Well done, you both look awesome, so i think it was just as well you didn't sell, although if you ever want to give him away- i'll have him! lol.

Have you any more competitions lined up for him? hope your success continues.
 
You can have him in the winter when he is a complete little monkey and not so lovely to ride!!

He has got two BE90 runs before he moves up to BE100. He will also be going to PC areas for Dressage and Eventing :)
 
well done you! he looks like a lot of horse to control on the XC course!

IMO you are folding a fraction too much over the fences, but I know how easy this can be on a forwards horse as you are trying to not get left behind. Just watch that you don't get in front of the movement.

you look like you've got a nice secure lower leg, and a good pair of hands. the only thing I would say (and I don't know you or your horse) is that I would want to see you giving him a bit more rein over the fence to lower his head and neck to bascule and use his back more effectively.

he's a lovely horse, and he looks like he's really enjoying it! :D
 
Tucks up very nicely :D

As JH says, holding a little, but can understand if he likes to Go! There's something about the second piccy, but I'm not experienced enough to put it into words, so ignore me, I'm probably woffling :D

Have a hot choccy :)
 
I know what you are saying, I do need to give him his head slightly and I suppose I should have done the prep for the next fence after landing, however we had a very low branch and a dip to go down a stride after it, lack of experience on my part ment riding like a numpty and shortning up over the fence. :o

Thank you for the advice, keep it coming :)
