Super Mol -jumping!

[Cinders]

My horsey is a star!

Did more grid work today just copying what we've done in lessons but i think i'm going to have to change it all around as molly was so 'yeh, whatever!' to start with she was verging on lazy/ careless! In lessons she really pings and i'm almost getting jumped off where as at home the jumps just don't seem to back her off enough! Even when i put the yellow blocks under she didn't seem to notice, think i'd better drag out the proper fillers! She's doing wonders for my confidence as she knows she's got to get to the other side, no question of stopping/ running out. Finished on 1.05m and she made it feel like nothing! it was only then that she was starting to use herself! Funniest thing is i've got to make a conscious effort to make her canter away from jumps as she'll happily pop over 1m and land in trot, she finds it all too easy :rolleyes:

Some pics, i need to sack the camera man, despite me telling him, he insisted on standing too close :lol:

On this occasion mol decided it was a good time for a poo 3 strides out from the first jump! she pretty much fell back into walk, demolised the 1st jump, leaped the 2nd...

we got it completely wrong, my reins were like washing lines and i wouldn't have blamed her if she stopped, but she sorted herself out and popped it pretty much from a standstill, hence my very dodgy position :ashamed:

Now if this horse can't turn me into a good, confident jumper then nothing will! :lol:

[Gillian]

Oh wow, she looks super! Having had a horse who is the worst 'dangler' ever I envy her tucked up front legs!

Well done both of you.

Wow, how exciting! She looks like a fantastic jumper, you will have so much fun with her. I think you deserve a keen jumper after Cinders...

[Loony]

She looks amazing!! Pmsl at the cameraman :lol:

[Tanner]

I'm soooooo in love with this mare, great jump on her too! Are you planning on doing some SJing competitions with her eventually as well as the dressage?

[Anni~Bell]

You definatly weren't wrong about her being amazing at jumping!!!!
Can't wait to see you out and about competiting!

[*Hel~Bel*]

she looks super, a real all rounder!! xx

[Evening Star]

Wow she is soaring!
Glad to hear she knows her job, bet its a good feeling after Cinds :D
Bet its so exciting to see what she can do!

[beks the artist]

Look at those legs! She looks like a pro! xx

[Cinders]

thanks guys!! it does make a lovely change, we'll have to see what she's like with really bright fillers first but she's an odd one as she's such a spooky horse in general but jumping wise she seems to see it in a different light and just get on with it!

Tanner- yes definitely planning on doing some SJ as eventually i'd love to have a go at eventing, in fact i think she's ready now so as soon as i can fit it in with uni we'll go have a play round some courses :)

[I love my Haffy]

She is seriously fab. What an honest girly

[gem]

You're making it look too easy! I'm loving all your updates with her :D

[daytona]

Wow she looks amazing.
How well does she tuck up. You have a good one there :D

[Cinders]

thanks!

gem- lol! i feel like i'm waiting for something to go wrong as she's been so perfect so far! glad your enjoying the update :) x

[Scarlet Kat]

Oh she is a star - So pleased its all coming together :-)

[Betseyboo]

This definately seems to be Mol's department and she knows it!! x

[Welly]

Love the updates too!

Mol is looking fantastic, such a credit to you, and I hate to say it but you sit as nicely over a fence as you do on the flat, I hate seeing it when people ('people' DEF includes me haha!) throw themselves forward onto the horses neck when they're jumping! I wish you were a bitchy, up your own backside girl so I could hate you lol!!! xxx

[CityLights]

has she not done her trippy lame thing recently? its really odd how you descirbe it

she looks to have a really nice jump on her and sounds pretty honest, she will come right and make a really nice allrounder, maybe have a go at some ODE's i think she would be great

[HannahAndSydney]

wow! looking fantastic!!

[Cinders]

thank you, i'm sure mol's head is getting bigger by the second lol! First SJ outing this weekend so we'll see what she makes of bright, spooky courses, hopefully she'll take it all in her stride!

welly- LOL! thanks for the lovely comments :) i've never been into throwing myself up their necks, just doesn't feel natural! Think cinders quickly drummed into me that i must sit up on approach and keep lower leg secure otherwise i'd be flying through the air solo! hehe

smile and wave- nope she's not done her lameness thing since, it's a bit odd but shows how insignificant it must have been, also booted her up ever since so i'm assuming it was just caused by her brushing or over reaching. As for ODE's that's definitely one of my aims for next year!

[Susan]

Love her!
So pleased to see things going well for you!
