Poor Fly is definitely enjoying his jumping! He rodeo'd after every jump tonight:eek: And they were big bucks too, frightenend the life out of me! Poor fella has had almost no turnout this week cos of the weather and apart from a quick hack on Weds he's been in all week but I learnt something about him tonight, that he will settle given more work. After these awful bucking fits RI told me to blast him round the outside of the school which I did and hey presto he then started to jump beautifully....this time last year this same behaviour had me calling the all the specialists out.:rolleyes:

yep! To be fair she's done wonders for our jumping although I tonight I did feel physically sick!

She had a set of 6 jumps diagonally down the middle set at right angles to each other. You had to jump then circle back on yourself then jump again if you can get the idea? At the end we had to jump straight down through all 6 with them - so each jump was jumped at an angle. Horrific!

Its not as bad as me on my first trail ride on a horse I had started myself..
"Mkay, remember if you get scared jump off"
*Nods* *Horse starts getting ansy*
"NO!" *I jump off*
"why would you do that? Theres not another rock for mounting for another 4 minutes"
"well.... you said...."
"well, I ain't waiting.. catch up when you get back on!"
