The better bits *pics*

[MrC]

So I posted the Oh Sh11t moment from yesterday so here are the slightly better moments.

Yes my lower leg looks terrible, I have no idea why as I was jumping another horse the previous week and my lower leg in those photos was fine, he didn't feel as smooth to jump however so I'm taking it as his lack of suppleness and also his age is making me unbalanced and I'm gripping with my knee instead of lower leg. I'll be practicing this on him over poles on the ground and small jumps 30-50cms when I can

He is definitely trying though and hasn't even attempted to chuck in a dirty stop and looks keen in the pics so I'll see how he goes.

Raring to go






Flat work and poles











Jumping





I took him a short but very hilly hack tonight and he felt good striding out and happy to trot etc so obviously we didn't pull or strain anything yesterday I'll take him another short hack tomorrow then he will get a few days off and then back to hacking and hopefully schooling on a flattish field until my next arena hire

Dusky hacking today

Toffee would too! I remember him having a panic over a hand bike thing that was going down the road.
