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

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

Thanks Halfstep - it was taken by Greenlees Equine at the Plumpton Futurity - they took some stunning pics that day. I hope I don't get into trouble for posting a pro pic but I did buy a copy and ask if it was ok to post a version on here.

 

[lucemoose]

just to show how much love there is in it for me

jumping a 4ft course having never jumped above 3ft6 before

 

[Sarah_Jane]

I guess if I am looking for one that sums up the season it would be this

No disasters but Sarnie not 100% resulting in a loss of jumping technique and the second half of the season off.

The highs, Jittery J who came to us last year a quivering wreck to trusted nobody, nappy and not wanting to jump, learning to enjoy life again, jumping at a clinic with oldest daughter

Younger daughter at same clinic, she never wanted to ride a TB let alone jumping one, riding B (an ex racer fondly known as the Baggage!), now she wants to do everything on her and only wants to ride TB's

Son, 7 yr old Mini D_K Lead Rein Champion at local show for 2nd yr running

The lows summed up two weeks ago when oldest daughters eventer had to be PTS, our fav photo of them a few yrs ago

Roll on 2011 i say. Although you have to post some piccy's of Ash, he's done so well this year

 

[OneInAMillion]

Has been a pretty awful year, but by God has he taught me how to sit a rear! The video's of some of them are horrifying But it is very slowly getting sorted

 

[WellyBaggins]

I have a few of those too that sums up my year too unfortunately all my photos are on photographers websites so I cannot join in

 

[georgiegirl]

oneinamillion -wow! did you manage to stay on?!?!?!

reminds me very much of the day i took autumn out hunting....something which we dont speak of or shall never be repeated again!

 

[teapot]

This one, my first proper comp ever. It was the culmination of 2 years' hard effort of getting my confidence back and the smile says it all:

I did! *touches wood* he has only had me off once because he literally went from canter/gallop to spin rear buck rear rear rear spin and dump you an be gone! That day he really wanted rid of me and after about 20 mins of us being the freak show I literally had no physical or mental strength left to hold on to him!

That is the exact reason he doesn't hunt...However it has also become his favourite party trick in dressage the judges love it though but mark us down!

 

[teapot]

OWWWWWWW. You still off games DD?

 

[dieseldog]

OWWWWWWW. You still off games DD?

I did it in April, took a month to get it operated on due to NHS bureaucracy and started riding again in August. Been to a few shows but need to get my mojo back.

Looks like you have been having some fun

Yup it certainly does

Coming 4th in a Hoys qualifier on OH's old cob Shiney. really amazing day.

Mick was lame during summer so off games, but got to nick Shiney again for ODE. We were 2nd after the dr & sj, went clear xc but didn't push for time - still came 7th.

Edited to add another pic.. I soo loove this horse. (sorry)

 

[Baggybreeches]

That is one of my favourite ever photos of this year, I love Jack, like my Sov, he always looks like he's having fun!

 

[CrazyMare]

We have had lots of this year off games - May to October, but I love this picture from a Lucinda Green clinic

Is that the famous somersaulting HHO hireling that I spy?

In keeping with my generally grumpy mood the picture that sums up my year is this one:

 

[georgiegirl]

gamebird - never knew you and I have the exact same car down to the colour and everything!

It's my husband's car - there's a few around us very similar. It was originally an import and I suspect that there was a shipment of nearly identical vehicles that arrived in Yorkshire.

 

[_Rach_]

I have 3 but its the same fence. At Oasby in October, a Log, Drop Brush combination, she would normally over jump off steps and run past the last element but she didnt she stayed stright Best day of my year, oh and we came 3rd

 

[Sanolly]

Here's mine:

Finally conquering my fear of XC after 12 years! A close second that day was all the people who told me they loved the mare - considering how she was when I got her ( a feral unbroken rising 4 year old), all the hard work it took and all the problems we had last year I was so proud of her!!

 

[GinaGem]

Think it's this one for me:

I was terrified of this HT as there was a jump that was way over the height of what we'd jumped before and i almost pulled out. As it was we went clear.
