Cross country makes me panic. But I didn't want to waste the opportunity in the Ardeche and funnily enough, once on board, I just let go and enjoyed myself. I kept it all small, within my comfort zone, and Paco looked after me. The small green barrels were harder than they looked as you had to come sharply round a bend in deep shadow and then there they were    The jump down doesn't look like much now but it felt like cantering off a cliff  |

Fantastic! Your always up to exciting horsey stuff in stunning surroundings, it makes me feel very envious. I know I'm very lucky with the countryside ( although the drought and heat has been enervating this summer) but I'm also very lucky to have a coach who understands that it can be very lonely having horses at home, not being part of a club. So she organises a lot of group stuff so we can get together and is very clever about managing everyone's different levels. I feel as though I have struck gold with this one |

looks like fun, the barrel jump does sound tricky as its easy for them to skip a jump like that. Well done.
