(I don't like this new Forum. I just put all my wee piccies in a post, then the Forum ate them because it counts smilies as pictures!).

Dizz produces so much power from her backend!! I thought it was just me, getting left behind because I'm a numpt, but D1 had the same issue as well, so I sort of feel better about it lol

Me and Dizzy, cantering, in a school, with others, and with jumps in there *smiley face*

We were good at the trotting poles *smiley face*

We had some steering issues coming to this one, she wanted to jump one of the two either side of this one lol

And here's D1 doing it on the Dizz. My ankles were both giving way today and I didn't want to put Dizzy off, so let D1 take her over the slightly bigger jumps.

Thankies all :D

Yes, her backend is changing shape. Some muscle, some fat, some general filling out :D. It's getting to be scrummy bum now lol :eek::cool::rolleyes::D

Other than the bubbles she was straight over everything :D. Once she realised she wasn't going to drown in bubbles she was fine :D :D :D
 
she did not want to go over that plank did she!!!

she is gorgeous! you look like you were having such fun :)

I love her freezemark too BTW
 
Wow, you have both come on so much!!! :)

Wish we were being able to do so - Gully's new ailment is some sort of chronic front feet lameness - lots of investigations going on at the mo' , no real reason it would seem and x-rays seem pretty clear - he is now in eggbars which seem to be helping.

Getting the 4 year old coloured filly going instead - no excuses now, so having to put the brave head on until I figure out what she is capable of...seems ok so far :)

Enjoy the jumping - looks like you'll be BSJA'ing before long (or whatever they call it these days!!_
 
Thank you for all the nice comments :D

Fingers crossed re. Gully! Enjoy having chilled out fun on the four year old :)

Thank you, her freezemark makes me smile :D. Little Cob has 'AM0R' (Latin for 'love'), and Little Lad has 'LL4D' (I resisted having 'LG1T' lol). I sort of don't like freezemarks, but I definately do like the fact that it makes it so much harder for a horse to be stolen then passed on.

The bubbles plank escapade was quite funny :eek::rolleyes:. I didn't expect such a reaction, as she has seen all sorts of things and isn't generally a spooky horse, but obviously I was wrong and will need to work on getting her used to them :D :cool::rolleyes::D

Hot choccies with all the trimmings all round me thinks :D
 
Fab piccies - she looks in fantastic shape and you both look like you're having a lot of fun. Really pleased for you x

ETA - your position looks really good on the whole too! I'm quite jealous!
 
Hm. Camp. Yes. Indeed. Pictures. I'll be able to take them of someone far more competant than me riding her round Eland's cross country course lol :D :D :D

As to The Wall, well that'll be no problem. All I have to do is point, shoot, close eyes, dig knees in, hang onto mane, sit up when instructor yells "Sit Up for gawds sake!!". See. Simples :D :D :D :D :D

Some time ago I showed D a piccy of a horse, at full strech, in mid-air, rider sooo far back, reins slipped to the full (cross-country jump). I (jokingly!!) said "Is that the sort of thing you want to photograph me doing?" expecting him to say oh now, far too big/dangerous/scary etc., but no, he was quite keen on the idea! Was talking about how he was looking forward to taking piccies of us doing the big jumps!

He's having to make do with the eighteen inch specials for now lol :D :D :D :cool::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::D
 
so which lucky person are you making ride her round the XC then if your not doing it? :p

and you look amazing on her, shouldn't put yourself down so much hun!!
 
Lol Ziggy. Thank You :D. I'm of the 'Coming into fence!!! Knees IN! Hands Grab Mane! Face Forwards or I'll Get Yelled at by Lorraine! Sit UP Before I Get Yelled at by Lorraine!' school of Style and Position :D :D :D :eek: :cool: :rolleyes: :D

There are some others that show my being a little left behind... :eek::rolleyes::cool::o
 
Aww MrsM, those pics are fab!
Well done! And definitely well done for staying on at those plancs. You look like your having so much fun!

Enjoy riding club camp
