Pics from X-country a couple of weeks ago

[Lucyad]

OK, this is a seriously long link....we are second row down.

http://www.peak-photo.co.uk/index.php?category=gallery/2007/kilmacolm%20show_11th%20may%202007_working%20hunter_cross%20country/cross%20country/novice%20and%20junior&start=160

If it doesnt work, try http://www.peak-photo.co.uk and go to gallery, then 2007, then kilmacolm show, then cross country, then novice and junior, then page 5 (again 2nd row down). Whew! Anyone who can be bothered to do all of that, can be as critical as they like! First ever X-country for Oscar, and only my 3rd in as many years, with a healing fractured shoulder which limits movement in my right arm. We were eleminated at the water, and they are only little jumps, but hey, it was good fun! Might do it again some day!!

Whey!
Lovely jumps.
Echo the first replier - little jumps!!?

[Lucyad]

No, really they were little, he just jumps them big 'cause he hasnt really seen rustic jumps before and was a bit nervous. I walked the course the night before and though, Oh, OK, thats not too bad, then arrived to find that I had walked the open course, and that they had taken the top poles off! It was quite a good thing really, because the amount we cleared them by added a good couple of feet to the height!

He was very hesitant at a few as well (particularly one made from tyres that he only ever seen on a car!) and stopped, snorted, then jumped from a standstill, which would be scary of not impossible if they were much bigger!

Great pics - he was clearing the jumps by miles!
