I got moaned at last update due to lack of photos, but am terrible for taking any! So here are a couple of professional ones, links only I'm afraid as they are copyrighted and I havent bought them yet (but might..), from last Sunday's XC - 2'9'' novice course.

I did a little update in my 'need someone to get horse fit' thread in 'general', but to sumarise, we went clear but very slowly, due to riding club team xc training on Saturday, which left us both rather knackered. However he is getting over his fear of natural obsticles and wasnt spooky at all, jumping a coffin, tyres (a previous phobia), walls, steps, water etc.. So very pleased.
Just need to work on fitness now. Unfortunately he was very onward bound at the training, so all of the suggestions were to keep him slower, and more accurate. Also to keep hands lifted going into jump, something Casey recommended on NR on my spooking jumping post a while back!
We may have news very shortly of another NR resultant good news story as well! Will keep you posted if other person involved is happy for me to do so.
