So proud of Andy- Pingy jumping **video**

[Kokopelli]

Took Andy to a PC rally today, it was in a nice school with a very nice surface but was very spooky for him.
He was quite wound up and his new trick when he is excited is to do non stop extended trot which I cannot stop him from doing so any tips for this much appreciated. (You will see what he does in the video, little show off )

He jumped really nice (for him) and I felt I had a lot of control. I took on all the fab tips from here such as sitting up, I forgot this a few times though. And lots of leg. I was knackered at the end as I was really riding him.

CC as always please.

I got him deep into the yellow upright and then did a funny wiggle after that so was glad that was our only bad fence. I've been working on going for a longer one when I get a bad stride rather than going deep and took this too far today when we did 1 stride in a 2 strided double.

Gotta love the pingy little pony though who was compared to Bambi today.

Blimey K, he's a different horse now - he's actually looking at the jumps! Really well done. Love the extended trot!

you should be on the pony club team with a horse that can jump like that! keep up the good work, he certainly looks like he's enjoying it and you are doing so well.

Thanks everyone, he was definitley enjoying himself.
The jumps were between 90 and 1.05 I think.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm considering entering the H&H young rider bursary, I think it will be a long shot but might use parts of this video for it.
