| our "warm-up" jump...hahahahaha. remember the days when I was afraid to jump a crossrail? |
 |
| woops. |
 |
| eek. |
 |
| one very unhappy mare. she gets offended when she knocks a jump down. |
 |
| yup, that right leg needs to jump too, Lucy! |
 |
| some pretty atrocious riding. she saved my butt BIG TIME on the landing as I was hanging off the right side. she moved her back end over in mid-air as she came down from the jump and saved me. WHAT A GOOD HORSE! |
 |
| and then I stopped riding like a drunk monkey and started you know, helping her a bit. |
 |
| oh Lulu, you are amazing. |
 |
| "you are going to get so many cookies" |
 |
| this was a pad someone ordered, but like an idiot I painted the horse on the wrong side of the pad. the customer politely pointed my mistake out and I was like, ohh yes I am a moron. so I painted another pad for the customer and kept this one for myself :D. I needed a black pad, anyway. |
Sweet! Was that her first time jumping 3.6? What a pro. You can tell she enjoys herself.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! She looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteKerri, she jumped it over the summer one time with Lauren aboard but it has been a while since she's jumped anywhere near that high.
ReplyDeleteAmy, thanks! She is such a beast, I love it!
Yay Lucy! What a good girl. :-)
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note...why would it matter which side the pad was painted on...? The right side looks nice too!
I was going to ask the same question as STB Eventer. There's a "right" side to paint on?
ReplyDeleteYou are my jumping role model. I'm just getting over my fear of tiny lil 2' jumps. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe pad is gorgeous, btw.
Wow! Lucy looks fabulous, especially over that big oxer.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of the correct side either, until the client said that was the case. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo!! Try a swedish oxer sometime to encourage those legs to come together! Typical Thoroughbred, the higher the jumps, the better the jump :)
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon your blog thanks to COTH, and I'm hooked :). Great writing AND riding. I'm a hunter transplant living in western world now, so I fully intend to live and jump vicariously through your posts.
ReplyDeleteShe looks great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words everyone! BeBe, I will try a swedish oxer next time, great idea. MountainChicken (lol -- awesome name!), welcome :)
