Pics of my boys first show jumping show :-)

[Lemonpolo]

So I finally managed to get the pictures of my boys first show jumping attempt. Only a clear round which he did and first time as well. He's 7 but I have taken my time with him as he is a bit of a scardy cat! Was very proud if him as he had never seen fillers of proper wings before

Please excuse the bad riding it was my first jumping course in about 20 years and I was a little nervous!

Lola like you are both having fun! He's not likely to touch a pole in those pictures! 😂

He's gorgeous. Well done!

I absolutely love how he's giving them all a good few feet clearance! Well done you, you both look fabulous.

As others have said, you certainly weren't in danger of rubbing a pole off! What an honest boy to brave wings and fillers. Like the look of him too.

 

[Lemonpolo]

Thank you all.

He is my baby boy, know him since he was not quite 1, only recently started to let others ride him.

He hates hitting poles which is why I did such small jumps. He can do 1 meter at home but they won't jump up and bite him! He is very honest as well you can feel when he is worried and after a boot he just does it. But he is always excited when he sees jumps, so I know he enjoys it

He always seemed to struggle in a bit, he would always put his tonge over it, even if it started under. moved to bit-less about 6 months ago and he seems so much happier in it

you seem to have photo shopped out a top pole! he's gorgeous and what a cracking jump I bet he will mature quicker than you think with a few more outings and getting used to it all. He did brilliant for his first time

 

[MuddyMonster]

He's gorgeous

Well done both of you!

He has such a beautiful colouring and face marking! Very very unique! And such scope he has too! Anyone would think hes done it before, but a couple of poles higher!

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

He's a beauty and certainly has a good jump on him
Well done xx

 

[Highlands]

Lovely what a jump!

What bad riding OP? I see a sympathetic rider going nicely with a horse that is rather overjumping. Not many people can manage the ping effect comfortably. He is certainly showing promise, even if he is a late starter. Keep on taking your time with him.

Love the photos, well done both of you!

Beautiful boy and lovely pics! Looks like he's got a good jump on him

He's fabulous! I love his colour/markings, and it certainly looks like jumping will be his thing!

You look like you're having an equally good time
