Our 2nd Ever Hunter Trial

[Gorgeous George]

Have had a great day today doing my second ever HT, went to Downhouse and did the pairs with my friend and had a go at the 2ft 3 this time instead of the 2ft and there were some scary jumps along the way

I ended up going in front and only had 3 stops round the course

and my friend had a few stops too and as a result we got eliminated, but we jumped everything and got all the way round

It turned out that out of 15 pairs only 2 didn't get eliminated, and we were best of the rest, so I like to think we came third

sort of

Sorry no pictures of me jumping, although there should be some official ones in a day or 2, but these are the jumps that i really thought were beyond me so I am so thrilled to have jumped them

Then here is one of Georgey boy looking very pleased with himself

This probably doesn't sound much to a lot of you, but I am really chuffed with what we achieved today

(sorry probably should of put this is PG?? oops please forgive me

)

Oh well done GG

You must be very pleased with yourself and George!! Lots of carrots for him tonight. Those jumps should be a piece of cake from now on.

Still wishing I had done XC today...actually working at the minute - how has my life come to working on Sundays!!

Never mind, had a nice hack out on the baby horse this morning who was v good and Gully is sound, so all quite good really!

Oh well done you and George, so glad you enjoyed it! That second jump looks quite meaty, did you aim for between the tyres!!!!!!

I did a HT today, my report is in PG if you fancy having a nose??

 

[miss_c]

Well done! Told you that you'd be fine! I await the pro photos eagerly!

 

[Flibble]

Brilliant and Love the look o the course.

 

[Gucci_b]

Big well done to you both

You must be over the moon.

 

[Sprout]

Oh a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you and George - what an amazing achievement, some of those jumps look testing to say the least.

I cant wait to see your pro pics - hope you are celebrating tonight, and then planning what next ......

 

[Mickeymoo]

Well done GG. Looking at that second jump - I think I would have ended up with the tyre round my waits.. lol.


Cant wait to see the pics.x

 

[Chellebean]

well done to the pair of you! you must be so proud of your gorgeous boy

 

[somethingorother]

Well done! That steps into water looks scary, really well done to do those. I'm such a wuss at things like that, so can appreciate how nerve wrecking it must have been.

George is a star

Look forwards to the pro pics!

 

[Jericho]

well done you! That tyre on is rather scary isnt it!!

 

[MyBoyChe]

"Doesnt sound like much" my a@$e. If I managed even 1 of those jumps, ever, Id be beside myself with excitement. Fortunately Royal Cliche and I seem to have come to an understanding, 1 hoof on the ground at all times, thank you very much. Seriously, you and George are absolute stars, such a great team and I love your posts, your love for GG shines through and he seems to appreciate his Mum, always seems to look after you and tries his best. Onwards and upwards I think for you 2. Should I be booking a space by the lake at Badminton do you think, ready to catch a glimpse?

 

[WeeBrown]

Well done!
Have to say I looked at your first pic and went "eeeek" it did look scary....think how far you've come now!
What are you aiming for next?

 

[Ashgrove]

WOW!! Really well done you two, the jump with the painted wheels would've scared the life out of me

 

[Pedantic]

Well done, love the course, looks really good

Nice looking lad

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Well done - no chance of me ever doing anything like that!!

Even if I did we would be eliminated at the water as the BGL refuses to get his hooves wet for anyone - he is a dressage diva doncha know??!!

 

[ajb123]

Huge well done to you both! 2nd fence looks horrible to my eyes!!!!!!

 

[vetsbestfriend]

Huge congratulations for completing the course. George does look pleased with himself. Well done to you both.

 

[Chumsmum]

Well done, those jumps look v scary!

 

[MrsMozart]

Very well done

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

Well done. I've said it before and I'll say it again - you are an absolute inspiration to mane clinging nervous wreck riders like me.
I look at those fences and shudder!
