The Further Adventures of Baydale *vids*

I have no idea how you will manage to gad about next season, I am confined to lunging beneath sodium lights for now, oh how Sovereign is delighted that I have borrowed a Pessoa to use :-(
Joooopiter is turning into a bit of a super swot for my liking so shall renounce my claim ..........................................for now ;)

Thanks Stencilface, it's a shame we didn't get to meet, maybe some other time. :)

Quite a few had a spook at that sj too and managed an extra stride, so many in fact that my friend who was riding in the 2* was doubting my striding, the cheek!

Hopefully see you around next year as I'm sure ill be grooming again, I'll be more on the ball next time :)

Awww hurray for the Jupilicious Joooopiter and his partner in crime :) :) :)

You know you, and he, did amazingly: he was INCREDIBLY green for such a big ask, and he seems to have risen to the challenge magnificently! He will have come on such a lot for the run, and when you come out at Int next spring it's going to feel sooo easy :cool:

I would put on my "Told you so" T shirt but I've worn this particular one out, so I'll make do with my "Yayyy for the MAHOTP" one :p And best of luck for the new job :)

You must be the No.1 fan of the MAHOTP, TD, and that's only because you don't have to live with him. :rolleyes: He was green but very game to have a go, which is a great feeling. :)

Love reading your reports, you always sound like you are having such a good time! Sounds like next season will be fab for you both, I really hope so as I think you truly deserve it to be.

Thank you, JackJill, I often do have a good time but believe me I'm not eternally cheerful, as anyone who knows me will testify... :rolleyes: I hope next season will be fab, it's that optimism that keeps us all going, isn't it? :rolleyes:

I can see that all my annual leave will be used for eventing and there'll be no gadding about other than that, not unless I live on Red Bull and forego any sleep at all. :confused: Are you saying that Jup is too well-behaved for you? :eek: I'll swap you for Sovereign as we are a Pessoa-less yard and he'll love me forever. :D

I am glad things have turned for the better with job! Well done at Osberton and it sounds like your naughty Joop is all grown up!

Hmmm, let's not get too excited about him being all grown up, eh? HumungaHorse still has a wicked sense of humour aged 10 and I'm sure Jup models himself on him. :rolleyes:

I am sure he will, however as LouiseM will confirm Mr Sov has THE WORLD'S shortest attention span in history, not a great combination when your feet are several light years away from your brain (assuming there is one in there!). You would then be back at square one ;)
I could send you Touchy instead? She has a Joopesque sense of humour, and a hilarious buck for a 16 year old horse :)
 
I think to have done 4 Ints and a ** on the naughtiest horse in England by the age of 7 is pretty good myself :)

I also admire his rider very much for her high pain threshold, as I most certainly wasn't riding round ** XC 48 hrs after my cowbag put a hole in my thigh....

Respect :D

All I want to know is, is he any less annoying yet? ;) he certainly manages to look the part despite his greenness! I sympathise with the irritating 60, slightly smaller fences, but no less irritating!
Well done Jups, and Baydale, totally in awe of your pain threshold women!

Nope, he's still really annoying, pretty much all the time.... It's kinda cute the first couple of times but then it starts to grate a bit. :rolleyes:

'Bout time we had a report (am a lurker who hardly ever posts by do enjoy hearing about JOOOOOOPITER :O)

Great stuff! Onwards and upwards!

A lurker coming out of the woodwork, fantastic! :D Thanks, MB, there'll be another one next week after Oasby and then it'll be lots of bor-ing BD-ing for us, and I doubt you'll want to hear about that. ;)
 
He is very very cute. You know those old-timer PC ponies who are adorable but are secretly plotting the decking of their riders? He has that look, dressed as a very smart and grown up horse :D Sounds like a very good day!

I haven't totally ignored your message on FB btw, I'm just awaiting a response (have only just asked, my brain sort of vacated the building fr the last few weeks!) from my mum who knows a lot more than me about everything :D
 
Another who wants to know if Jup has some pony in him? he seems to have a pony out look on life :D

Any way massive well done sounds like a sucessful time and Jup seems to be doing really well despite suposedly still being anoying :p.
