Well - I don't have a bike to rave about at the moment...

... and anyway - I'm soooooooooo proud...

... and this is the first picture I've ever had of the two of us together (camera shy me - but there was a pro on hand and I was kinda occupied

)...

... and, yeah, well, ner.

Taken this morning. It wasn't a 'proper' competition, just a Clear Round (where you get a rosette if you dont' knowck anything down). He's only done this once before at Christmas, and they were only 1'3" then.

This time they were 2'...

... but I don't think Leo was told that.

Looks quite wheelie prone, have you considered a longer swinging arm or at least a wheelie bar?

Awesome horse

Is that really you? You look younger than me
Horses really are beautiful. Wouldn't mind learning to ride one day

Wow he looks amazing and right at home with those jumps! You make a great pair, a big well done to you K, he's absolutely stunning

Richie · 26-04-09, 03:11 PM

wow your amazing...

and you show jumping is ok too...!

26-04-09, 03:44 PM

Looks like he's a got a big old jump in the second pic

Is that a dressage saddle you're jumping in there? not easy - I used to jump occasionally after schooling and I only had a dressage saddle

(I always used to nearly fall off too

)

done any mods??

Thank you.

Richie - you smooth talker you.

AL - kinda, it's a GP, well - more a VSD, so straighter cut - but it's a Heather Moffat treeless saddle and has really long girth straps/dressage girth, there are nicely padded knee blocks though.

GG - mods, hmmm, just an almost complete rebuild after getting just the original frame.
