XC with the Exracer. *pics*

[PickledOnions]

Took my TB to a pc rally to get my rallys for area today and dougs was a star, he still likes to prove that he's still got it and at 21 he's not past it, beat all the ponies in a gallop up the hill and then behaved like a silly idiot when he was ment to be calming down and threw his toys out the pram big still when I wouldn't let him gallop up another hill!
next outing for us will be my branches tetrathlon, our first at senior level!! And we have huge hopes for this so we did some practise for that.
Anyway pics:
Froggy:

Trakener:

Upright barrels (he took off with me after this and it took me ages to stop him! Cheeky thing)

Bit close to this:

And finally achieved a goal and jumped the ducky!!

Giving a friend a lead down the triple of steps:

And just because he looks cute

Comments welcome but I am well aware of my faults
Butter popcorn for everyone

I really really really want to jump the frog and the duck!!! How big are they??!!

But gorgeous horse and fab pics

Ahh he looks great! Lovely pictures. You should be really proud as you both look super

MMACT - I think the Frog is about 85-90cm but not sure and the duck maybe 95 ish? as a PC branch we've had the frog in a 2ft9 class and the duck in a 3ft3/3ft6 class so make what you will of that!
Janey - Thank you, he really is a cross country machine and I've worked really hard to make sure I can stay with him!

He's lovely and he's amazing for 21, I think people underestimate older horses

Ha I'm not the only one that was desperate to jump the duck then? *pokes sig*

He looks stunning, you really wouldn't know that he was 21 flippin *eck!

Thank you both, I'm really proud of how he looks atm, all credit can go to his owner who gives me the best advice one could hope for on looking after him, she has owned him 11 years after all. I really do love my pony and am so lucky to have him, especially after all hes been through in his life. There isn't enough love in the world that I could give to this pony in thanks for what he's taught me, as much as I curse him when he's being silly!

Eeeek, maybe we'll leave the animals to you!!

You both look to be really enjoying it - and as others have said he looks very well for 21!!!

The Duck is on my list for next time!

He looks fab

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

He looks fab! You can't really blame him for taking off after the barrels - who wouldn't go for a yeehaa in a big open grassy field given half a chance!
