How not to approach a clear round! To my defence, I hadn't jumped since last summer and was a bit, uh, apprehensive about the venture so no style points here (just glad to get round!)! The 'smackdown' version is our first try, then I asked to just go round the whole thing again :p

Got to love my pony though, leisurely walking THROUGH that ladder thing ....

 
Love it - well the first round was just a warm up wasn't it?:p I love the commentary almost saying word for word my thoughts as I viewed it. Lovely pony - very hugable I have to say.:D

I sat watching it going "GET ON!!!" Heehee, the first round was a bit funny to watch but when you went back to do it again it looked good! Well done!:D
 
I love exmoors, used to ride one and they are full of fun and humourous cheek :p well done and i agree the first round was a warm up ;)
 
AW I love your pony and well done going for it, 2nd round was cool, believe me Cyrus would prob have stopped at a few of those thinking what are these mum? :D
 
Can I just say, thank you so so much for sharing. It's giving me a bit of confidence as I am thinking of attempting one at a show next Sunday. I have never ever done a full course on her and haven't done any show jumps at a show before. I've been very paranoid about it, I've got no real idea how to jump, so I feel people will look at me and think how stupid!!

GAttino, she'd never seen some of those types of jumps before (we haven't got anywhere to jump at home). We used the clear round as a warm-up for the working hunter class we did afterwards. She was very good for that, cantered the whole way round bless her.

Thanks for sharing, she's lovely, cheeky pony but she looked like she was having fun, especially the second time round, obviously she thought the first go was the practise lap!
