looks like you all had fun
din't know if it the camera angle, but on a couple of them it looks like you are appraoching on quite a sharp angle, as she is still young and learning try to keep things simpe for her by approaching straight, if she drifts to one side, try putting a pole on that side to keep her straight.
But love the expressions in the last picture, its good to hear that you are getting out and about with her.

no think its te camera angle. on the multicoloured jump we came to it from the white jump which would be ok and plently enough of a turn but shes a madam and struggled to collect her back up for the next jump but she had fun and i think we all did which was the main thing.

Lol.
The last one was really funny. What the picture doesn't show is that we were rotating and we only just managed to stay up right.
We went up rather than over.
We measured the jumps and some of them are about 3 foot!
Think its the camera angle because obviosuly OH was fearing for his life and standing at some seriously dodgy angles in an attempt to not get run over!

It really does look like you had fun, and that's the main thing otherwise why would we do it.
I am actually quietly envious, I've not been able to jump for at least three months and I know that my arena is nearly finished but I still wont be able to jump for a while until the surface has settled.

She honestly made the jump feel easy, its the approach but its pretty obvious that i think her jump training has involved "gallop to fence- leap over fence with eash leg in a different direction - land in a heap - gallop to next fence!"
she loved it though and thats what matters in the end!

She already has settled tbh in a lots of ways
On the ground things are improving loads now, still a bit bargy but getting there slowly.
Shes still abit strong sometimes but I think shes got away with it in the past and thats partly why.
She enjoys life, even if she does want to do it at 80mph!!
Rainbow I think its safe to say loves her!
