Entered in the 2'9 max (it was nice and small not really up to height which was good as I was sick with nerves as usual) and she flew round. Really went for it in the jump off and won

Ditto same again in the 3ft max class

She is AMAZING!! Giving me so much confidence, I feel really good jumping her - I think anyone could take her round and do well as she really helps me out and is so bold and clever.

I haven't won a SJ class in years so it's all very exciting lol

Here's the haul

Bought a pro pic but I don't have a scanner here so I've taken a picture of the picture so I can share with you.
She normally looks more photogenic but we were both on a mission I think!

This is in the jump off of the classes - check out the determination on both our faces

Hope you have a fun day xx

Next time I'm going to do 3ft and 3'3 I think... I was going to do 3'3 tonight but thought I would end on a (very) good note.

Aww thanks

me too though! I liked her for ages before I bought her and I always followed her reports.
Was amazingly good timing that she went up for sale just as I started looking for my own horse.

I'm on a mission to get my lorry licence

I have decided something bigger than 3.5T would be more practical for taking 2 horses and not worrying constantly about weight so will need to do a blimming HGV test first to move from a B cat license to a C

Ack well it makes sense to not have brand new drivers hurtling around in huge lorries but ugh to have missed the cut off point by 9 months will annoy me until I have passed

Can't believe how manueverable and quick she is in the jump off, we took some seriously tight turns but she listens to instructions so well doesn't she!
At one point she locked onto the wrong jump but a small check and she readjusts instantly - was very impressed lol.

It was just unaff jumping so there were loads of little speedy ponies but she just flew
grin.gif


My main thing to work on is slooooowing down the first round haha.

HHO is great as an outlet for my Tara droning as I really think I am turning into an obsessive bore
