Oso went to his first ever party on Sunday, a XC schooling session (only his 3rd jumping session ever). He was a star! The only issue we had was he was having so much fun in the water he wouldn't leave! I got drenched!

Thought i'd share some funny pics and video.

Absolutely fab photos, and i love the video! One happy horsey hehe. Well done to you both at the end of the clip though, no nonsense straight in and out.

He always looks like such a confident and happy horse, looks like you're doing a fab job with him and i always enjoy seeing photos and updates of him :)
 
Hehe, thanks! He's a super little pony, loves life, other horses, dogs, people, cats, pretty much everything really. Love him to bits! He's going to give jumpcross a go this autumn and then be turned away before trying the beach in the spring. I'll have to go on a nice long weekend as it might take me that long to get him out of the sea!
 
I love him!!! How big is he?
Cant view the vid in work but will look when i finish :)
Nice position over jumps, am well jealous!:D
 
Bless him :D :D Babies are just fabulous! Lovely little pop through he did at the end too, I bet you are really proud of him. :)
 
What a sweety. Looks like he was realy enjoying himself. :D
Lucy used to love water and I did have trouble at a few sponsoured rides getting her out the water and when her field flooded last winter she turned into the hippo pony and spent all her time paddling about up to her belly in water. LOL I bet your horse would love that field to.
He's looking super keep up the good work your gonna have a cracker there. :D:D
 
awwww lovely pictures !!.......... I know where you are..thats Elveden Team chaser course in thetford isnt it ?? ! I went there the other week - love that course :D couldnt get mine any where near the water tho ! well done ! :) x
 
just watched the vid!! love how he keeps changing foot XD he clearly loves it!

also just the way XC practice should be done, nice and steady, what a great pair you two are :)
 
He is lovelyyyy, looks like very much enjoying that :)

Funnily enough when we went to try Pickle out his owner much to there embarassment couldn't get him out of there water jump :p they said they had bathed him there and so he had got used to staying there and being washed off. After much flapping he did get out!
 
Ah, thanks guys! I've not jumped much for years so thought i'd mess it all up, but he seemed happy enough. I had to stop walking him up to show him the jumps first though as he was so keen that he was trying to step over them in walk!

This time last year he was panicking at everything and scared of the world, so it was lovely to see him so confident and ready to take on the world, even if he had to get a lead from his 'uncle' a couple of times!

(and yes, its Elveden, perfect course for a baby)
