Seeing as not many comps on at the mo, have you got a pic that sums up your year?

[Pidgeon]

We've had a bash at BE90 this year and and for me this one just captures Pidge to a T over a fence, keen and enjoying himself Just excuse the silly face I'm pulling as I spotted Erica at the last minute

P.S. I have full permission to post this.

This photo sums up my year, because I concentrated on training, and this was one of my best lessons all year:

[georgiegirl]

[claire_p2001]

Its always been a dream of mine to qualify for Scope festival of Show Jumping and this year I did and we got to jump in the main arena. This picture is one of many happy memories in 2011.

[georgiegirl]

[jess_asterix]

[Jenni_]

I look disgusting, but this one!

We had just completed our first ODE - as you can see I was (am!) unfit and bright red, gross. I was so happy though because altough sj was a mare I had never even done a xc round (except training) and I had a blast! Charisma flew round and although she was slightly green I was so proud.

Can't wait to do at least three next year

 

[Lisamd]

My 6 year old doing his first BE100, i bought him as a 3 year old and produced him so a very proud day for me

 

[Degan]

[Jenni_]

Sorry could you explain what this shows for a numpty like me please

not 100% sure but isnt it kissing spine?

 

[Degan]

not 100% sure but isnt it kissing spine?

I did think that but then thought that the spinous processes(?) were facing the wrong way ?? Im a little confused

 

[Bedlam]

I think you'll find that's because it's a human spine............?!?

Ouch - poor you!

 

[Degan]

I think you'll find that's because it's a human spine............?!?

Ouch - poor you!

Thats probably why Isnt that telling...I know more about the confromation of an equine spine than that of a human one!

 

[vallin]

FIrst half was like this ie. everything was going really well:

Second half was like this ie. we have spent it all at Rossdales or out of work waiting to return to Rossdales:

 

[rowy]

This because I backed my first horse and it was amazing and he was the nicest horse I have ever ridden and can't wait to start competing him next year!!!

 

[vallin]

GLad it wasn't just me that thought that! THis is an equine spine (One of the few areas that was fine with my girl!)

 

[Annette4]

Sorry could you explain what this shows for a numpty like me please

I broke my back in June If you look near-ish the top one vertibrae is squashed compared to the others I'm not back at work full time yet and suffering with lots of pain but I have managed to regain 50% of movement back in my back (I'm very thankful I can still walk) but lots of work to do yet.

 

[charlimouse]

Well there were several highs and the inevitable(sp?) lows to 2010, but it has certainly been better than 2009!!!!!

This picture is from the first XC round on Murphy where I actually felt in control!!!!!!

I've had him 4 years, and this season I seem to have got to grips with how to ride him XC.

Another highlight of 2010 was that both horses who I had been eventing finished the season sound (a big improvement on 2009)!

 

[alidegg]

My plated collarbone! Finally, a year later, it's all sorted.

And proof my horse is now more eventer than racehorse

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

Baby horse has her first go at jumping in public

Grown up girl and I have our first go at British Novice together

Excuse my face in the second picture - it's my concentrating face!

 

[Halfstep]

What a stunning photo!

 

[HayleyandBob]

Didnt manage to get to as many competitions as id have liked (hoped to do some BE and BS ) , but I did make it on a beach ride (always wanted to!!) and to pony club camp ! so I appreciated those moments even more (huge grin on my face in every single photo! ) even if it did rain constantly all week of pc camp!

 

[only_me]

Easy one - although I have three photos
First one - winning our pc open areas at showjumping & riding the best jump off I have ever ridden!

Second one - Jumping at the pc champs over the most challenging course I have ever jumped! Plus I love this photo, as I can count about 6 people (more before it was chopped) watching me, who cheered me on

third one - Coming third at the champs and getting to stand on a podium!

Spot the 2 eventers

Ohh, sorry, also finally riding at tattersalls (coming 3rd aint too bad either lol)

 

[Stormy123456]

Because she had been ridden 3 times before I had her, and I finally feel she has improved We've had a good year, not without the downs though.

As for Ballet, she was out from April to October, but had my first SJ practise the other day, and she was brilliant.
