Magic cross country schooling *vid added*

[coloredred]

Pretty much chickened out of jumping anything bigger than 2ft while i'm annoyed about and then felt very unconfident about jumping a log and Magic cat lept it twice and then refused it after that which was completely my fault :mad:

This has a ditch under it. He's not bothered about ditches at all.

Ooh that last jump is big from Magic!

[My Crazy Clan]

wow look at him go! he looks a totally different horse when hes under saddle, lovely lad.
'm surprised you trained him with other in the field though.

[coloredred]

Thanks guys.

The horses are quite often in the cross country fields, he isn't bothered about them being there. Besides it's good practice for when he goes to shows.

Hey

when i had my pony I wish I could have jumped in fields with others there- but I know he would take off like a loon! Like you say hopefully it will have a good effect with shows

Love the last pic

[Poppy and Harmony]

wow speedy pony. hes lovely :)

[Loony]

He looks like he's loving that!! Don't be too hard on yourself, your confidence will grow the more times you get out and see XC jumps. xx

[Evening Star]

What a good boy! Looks like he's loving it in the vid
Like Emmalou said the more you get out there and do it the more your confidence will grow

[eeek]

He looks incredibly well at the moment! Better than I have ever seen him I think :)

Well done, he looks great, lovely pictures.

[coloredred]

Thank you everyone :) Hopefully my confidence will improve.

Thanks eeek that means a lot. After he'd had so long off and gained weight i was worried about him loosing it again and getting fitter.

[beks the artist]

I just love his ears! They are so pricked aren't they?! Well done on your progree - they key is to do what you feel comfortable with. xx

[coloredred]

Thank you Beks :) I love his ears, they curl in so i always think of them as his devil horns when he's naughty.
