There was an unaffiliated show-jumping event at Uni (where he's kept) and the first class was a clear round one (for the uninitiated, no 'placings' but you get a rosette if you don't knock any fences down - great for kids, first-timers and young horses) but it was fancy dress , hence the ribbons.

It was very amusing - he was the biggest horse there by far 17 1hh - and the jumps were only 1'3". He could step over them bless him...

... but it was his first time jumping a course and they were all covered in tinsel n stuff - very scary obviously.
He actually managed to trot normally round the first bit, mainly as we could start off going round the entire outside of the arena to let him get up speed, but on a 'normal' turn he lost his rhythm and reverted to pacing for the middle few jumps then managed to get back into a trot.

But despite all that he jumped properly, wasn't lazy and got his rosette.


The funniest thing was that the jumps were left up for the following week during the holidays - so we went back in, took a couple of laps of the school to get up speed into a canter (he's still working on it and needs a lot of room, the racehorse in him still insists that every gait must be fast!) and then just pointed him at the first one and jumped the lot in any random order that didn't involved too many sharp turns...

... he went over the lot.
At 3' +.

Even the spread!



So - if we can slow the gears down, work on his rhythm, balance and, of course, cornering we may well enter a proper little class at the next show in April!





Oh man - I could ramble on about him all day.

He's an absolute credit to you, K. He's absolutely stunning. No wonder you're so proud of him

What a success story, great to hear he's jumping too! What a wonderful feeling to be able to look at him and think "I helped that horse achieve what he is today, go meeee!"

He really is beautiful, good luck with your next class!
