Went out on the boy tonight, my lovely friend's birthday made her a pony cake! Anyway off we went to the woods for a nice canter or two. I forgot to put my standing martingale on.

Thing is he was off like a rocket, 10 mile hack on Sunday and half hour lunge yesterday did nothing to slow him down. I managed to hold him but only just. Methinks he is getting quite fit now! The problem is I really want to start doing a bit of jumping and obviously can't do that with the standing martingale. ?Bottom ring of the gag here I come??

I love Pete

I have seen people jumping with standing martingale but dont think its a wise idea. Perhaps you could try a running martingale and have it quite short. Cant really think of anything else....

Maybe he will be calm jumping anyway and you wont need to worry about it.

I doubt it he loves jumping and gets very excited. I will try the running I think. Interesting how much difference itmakes though.
