XC Schooling today + vid

[Ferdinase514]

Took Sheenster & Finn and Emskie & Mya up to Milton Keynes today for Jo Burchell's XC clinic.

Was very muddy going so only a few jumpable fences

Most importantly, survived the 2 hr drive there and back

Mya napped for England and Emskie was a bit shaken up by her rearing, but Jo was great - really firm and showed her some good strategies to stop her rearing and get her going forwards.

Have put a video clip on of her at the water, to show you how well Emskie was handling it by the end.



Finni was his usual enthusiastic self, but Sheenster only had one truly hairy moment at some barrels, where he took off and jumped them way too fast, to Jo's horror. Think we've become a little accumstomed to his ways

Will post some more in Picture Gallery

Ooo sounds like fun

Im off there next weekend hopefully, and hoping it will be dry enough to string some fences together.
Ooo naughty pony, rearing in water as well

nappy bugger, good to see that it didnt ruin her fun tho

Think that the ground there is generally quite good, so hopefully, if it doesn't rain you'll be fine
