Today I took Drummer jumpies at Allens hill, we arrives at 10.30 to find thatthere was no one there as it only just stopped raining! So loads of time to prat about....took Drummer in the 1'9" amd we came third!! but there were only 5 in it!!! Caragh took him in the 2' but she had a pole, he was such a good boy though!
Then I took Maries horse Billy in the 2'3" but the trouble is I don't know him well enough and I was terrified!!! My jumping style is naf and I didn't ride him forward enough, consequently we had a refusal. Never mind! :-D
So the troupes returned to the yard with Drummer the top show jumper at the moment!
So, Olivia! :-D
She came in and had a good groom! She is actually the best groomed pony in Britain! lol! But she is very satisfying to groom, she adores it and stands rock still the whole time! Not like Drummer sho can't wait for you to bugger off and leave him alone!! So, I left her standing tied up with Shadow for company and she was happy to chill...for a bit!! Then she started pawing the ground so we just ignored her and after a bit, she stopped!! Its just boredom and impatience, next she ate a headcollar, then she turned round to look at Shadow, then she fidget top look in a stable..but...she was very good!
Well, then the farrier rang and said he could come in half an hour so one thing lead to another as we had time on our hands and we tried the fit of my 17" Fhoenix...bit far forward I think. She liked the stirrups and ate them!
And she was quite good for the farrier, just tried to stand on him once! lol! He was very patient!
So a really good day :-D
Great stuff Em! :-)
