what a pretty little mare she is!!!

I dont really jump (at the moment) but maybe I think you need to work a little on your legs (security: which can be much harder on a smaller pony, I think, as theres less between your legs (oooh er) and they also dart about quicker, so ytou really need to keep them there!!) have you tried putting your stirrups up just a hole or two, it may help?

I thought it was brilliant though - really good fun...which is what tis all about! Well done for making her continue over the ones she knocked down... ;D

See u at Rainbow Bridge beautiful Harry x

Just wondering if it is close enough for me to get to?

She's so pretty! That spotty jump did look a bit suspect... You did well to keep her going - I would have gone to pieces. Probably why I never did any jumping classes!
