Took ickle pony to Manor Farm for a play at SJ, he loves it, and it scares the pants off me
So I always promise him after hes a good boy at dressage he can go jumping
Well they advertised that the biggest class would be 2'9, so I went to do the 2'6 and the 2'9.............but when I got there they were doing a 3ft, so I was bullied into doing that aswell
The 2'6 was very hit and miss, william twisting over the fences and jumping them to the right rather than in the middle, a habit that im finding hard to brake
We had one down.
anyway I decided to push him on a bit more in the 2'9 and really let him attack the fences, something I find hard as I like to be in full control all the time
.............. well it worked he flew round much straighter, and much happier, we went double clear and came 3rd
3ft seemed huge as it was indoors, but decided to be brave and kick on, he was fab went clear in the first part and then had 2 down in the jump off section.......................BUT we came first we were the only ones to go clear in the first stage
very clever pony, and we only had the poles down as I got a bit carried away with the 'sit back and kick on bit'
Just need to get out jumping more, and fight my fear
