Tumbling early this season

[Springs]

I started early thsi year!

The day was set, New Masters first meet and the horse & hound their as well!

Off we went me and Rosie, a few post & rails to get us going along with a tiger trap and gate, the non junmpers joined and went off, me thinking it was going to be more post & rails etc continued. Bad move!!

1st hedge demolised by the front runners! ran trough the hole!
2nd hedge the same as above (H & H photographer not impressed)
3rd hedge big hole by from runners again! but this time full of wire, Rosie had intentions to run through it, turned to section with post but all too late!! must have looked great to all of the car followers. we got over it but both of us sliding along on our sides!!!

Rosie rounded up and me remounted we kicked on and caught up after a couple of more post & rails!!!

A good day yesterday but I am paying the price today!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............

hope you're ok and horse

Good tip for jumping hedges always go for 'proper thick bit of hedge', never a new hole, as it gives your horse the best chance to work out, what they're jumping and how much respect to give it

I always watch to see first couple go over to see if there is a drop aswell, been caught out with this one aswell!!

And in our country if you can't see the ditch it's on otherside, so you need speed :grin: :grin: and kick ON!!!

I was out at our opening meet and the 'tumble clu'b defo got lots of new members that day!!!
