Yes, I think there is a group, linking in to the BSJA>Certainly. members of the team were competing in para jumping in Bordeaux last year.Some shows here in France have special classes, from 80cm to 1m 20 I think.Best of luck.

Your cob is lovely, looks very much like a maxi cob I ride. The grey roan colouring is unusual.

thanks

He is a Maxi

the colouring comes from the clydesdale - which i think he is full bred, just a small one!

he is also much bigger now, he was only 4 in that picture!

I know at the moment that they are trying to get the BSJA to let para riders compete, it is just proving difficult as the judges need to be au fait with all the artificial aids each catergory of disability is allowed to use.

I was sat with a judge the other day and they got a bit over excited at seeing someone with half an arm riding between the rings. 'Look there is a para rider!!!!' he goes. 'No, she's on her mobile!' I reply lol
