Just some pics from our first competition of the year, just a little local eventer trial.

Didn't place at all, as I was a muppet having too much fun and cantered straight past fence 6 so racked up time having to circle back round! Sack the rider!

What a fabulous looking beast... So unusual, how old is he? Really love your colour combo together. :) My favourite photo is the fifth one down.

Thanks. It's a Christ Lamfelle Treeless pad. I love it....though am looking to get him a saddle made up this year now sometime now we'll get doing a bit more hopefully.

He's still little legs....14.1hh (ish) I would guess.
 
Can I ask where you bought him please? If you'd prefer not to disclose, you can PM me.

I lost my lovely coloured horse in 2014 and hope to buy another in the not too distant future.
 
Ha I give up with facial expressions riding �� I have an annoying habit of talking ourselves round whatever we're doing �� I always think I must sound like a right odd one chatting away to him ��
 
he's totally gorgeous ... what a beauty!! great pics.

love your saddle pad too ... and just interested ... do you use it for all your riding? Presumably you don't find a problem with pressure across the stirrup area? I've read such mixed reports about these it's great to see one in use with a horse obviously going well.
 
Thanks ��

yes we have used it for everything since he was 4. He gets regular physio check ups and she's not found a single suggestion of any pressure points or soreness caused. It has good shims and pads under and good spine clearance :) I love it and he has done. It solved what would have been all our saddle fitting nightmares for the last few years as he was changing shape ��
 
It's been lovely to see him growing up over the years.

What model is your saddle. I have a Christ lamfelle but it's not got anything fancy like thigh rolls or shims etc. I was also worried about riding in it and pressure points however it has been a life saver during my current saddle trauma and the physio has not found a single issue with her at all. I'm not brave enough to jump as high as you do in it tho!

Looking really fab. I love him.
 
Thankyou.

I have the Premium one FfionWinnie, which has the extra front knee rolls and padded cantle. However I also added more memory foam inserts, for a bit more extra cushioning and spine clearance. :)
 
Sparks now lives next door but one to Frankie and his pics dont do him justice! He is so pretty for a cob with a beautiful refined head! Hes the loveliest boy as well, so gentle and polite. I have serious horse envy!
 
He's lovely, has the look of my cob :D she to has the unusual mottly coloured bits but hers are grey and your boy has a bit of more hair, looks even more like my mares mum who is the exact same colour :)
 
What a hunk! xxxxxx

Never mind, I was reknowned for missing a fence or taking one in the wrong order!

Hence I was better at eventing than showjumping!

IMO if you are both having fun, who cares! .........Gosh he is lovely.
