Jump Cross Trainin

Jump Cross Training new video added

Well me a dylan went jump cross training on Sat and it was the best day ever!!!! He was such a good boy. He really tried. I didnt realise how fit you need to be though and I was knackered!!!! Dylan just wanted to trot round the whole thing so i took a huge amount of effort on my part to get him in canter.!!! Still we managed a little of it in canter. He took about 2 min to get in water and then I even managed to get him cantering through the water. How cool is that!!!

def doing it again, just need to work on my fitness and dylans.

pics to follow.

Totally agree! Once you get to the competition part, its sooo tiring!

I think I stopped breathing too, which is never ideal!

i had a fab time when i did the training too - not done one again since due to saddle issues but just about to book another day soon

Love that picture - you look so happy and relieved; Dylan just looks like "what? that was easy!"

i was exactly the same
i went for the 2'3.... but i think as i've not jumped her in her new saddle yet i'll go for the same height next time then maybe go for a 2'6 comp

I finally figured out how to put a video on here......

I thought when I saw your location, you were at the same training as me but having seen the pics, I guess not. You're so right about it being knackering, I did training first and then the competition, was really great fun. Glad you enjoyed yours.

Looks like the one that we've been to
