Well my face still looks like this 
after last night. I am so proud of my boy <3.
We went out and he went xc for the second time ever and he was fab! He had a few green moments that are to be expected but he was generally awesome. He also gave another horse a lead over some fences, never thought that would happen.
So we started off with a small roll top that he gave another horse a lead over and we also had a bit of a practice coming out the start box as he has never seen one before, didnt have to worry he didnt seem to notice it
.
Then did a bigger roll top with almost a mini roll top on top of it, he didnt even look at it.
On to a pallicade, the biggest he has jumped away from home and his first pallicade, popped that without a question just a bit of a wiggle on the way in.
Then a black pipe he didnt even look at.
We then went on to some doubles and he had a few green moments. The second fence took him by suprise so he had a stop at the first then jumped from a standstill
wasnt expecting that. We then built him up to it and he jumped it fine so all was good and he then went and jumped another double. He backed off slightly and dropped to trot but still jumped so we were happy with that.
Then we did the sharks teeth and a skinny mushroom. He stopped at the mushroom because I didnt set him up enough but jumped it on the second approach.
So over all I was very happy with him, we didnt get to do the ditch or the water as they are ready for a competition but it was a real confidence boost for him. On to the pictures and videos.....
Funny roll top with mini roll top on
Pallicade
Pipe
First part of double
Second part of double
Second double
Sharks teeth - Typical the closest one is the one where I have a dodgey leg position
And a little video with an oops at the end

CC welcome but it is only his second time jumping solid fences. The general feedback was that he likes to show jump them still and I need to pick the fences we show jump and the ones we try for a bit more of a xc style jump.
