We went jumping and we came home with lots of rosettes

we got there very early ... about 3 hours! Womble was a diamond and stood around all day being well behaved, watching showing and warm ups

I tacked him up and warmed up, we had a new bit and he worked well in it, we went in to our first class (trotting poles) and managed not to spook and we came 2nd out of 7

then we went into small crosses and jumped a rubbish round but come 4th out of 8, despite having 2 fences down. I was ready to call it a day but was put in the warm up ring and given a pep talk and was entered for the 45 ... a full course of uprights (I have an upright ph obia)

We rode much more positive (after another pep talk), though I did have to put my boobs back into the sports bra half way round :/ apparently I just need to bandage them down :frown:

we went clear and went into the jump off and he flew round. We even went over the joker fence which was an upright 55cm (2nd jump), and finished a very respectable 5th out of 9

Yes I know ... better bra needed ... and this is supposed to be a good one :|

Lol it was midnight ashes and sparklie from here who also acted as my cheering squad and fan club (some of there commentary was epic on the videos!)

I havent moved yet but know i feel like ive been hit by a bus lol!

Ive had so many lovely comments yesterday at the show and on FB last night about him
Im a proud pony mum right now :wub:
 
Well done! He's got a lovely jump on him. And thought you rode him really positively, fab round
 
Smashing round, well done you and Womble!

Does he get strong when he jumps, or are you just being cautious with the 3 ring??

Tis only a 2 ring but no we have 0 breaks

tis all new to him and hes very over enthusiastic, he likes to set his neck and go.
we only have a field at home and when jumping he is rediculous (asin aim for the nearest hedge to stop)

He is schooled and hacked in a full cheek french link
