jumping

Well today has been a great day......well it was more spectacular at the end of the day. I finally got jumping and had a blast. At first I couldn't catch my horse. Trix didn't like my flapping coat so used it as an excuse to gallop like a mad thing around the paddock. Finally she let me put the halter on and followed me like a lamb to her stable where I tacked up. I figured she was well and truely warmed up already so we went straight into flat work then I thought what the hell and popped over a jump. It wasn't flash but then after a few more I was a little braver so we added in more and then I was looking for my stride and away we went. Ok the height wasn't huge....we're talking 70 -80cm but what a great start. She didn't falter (and not a buck to be felt!!!!!!!) and happily put up with me hugging her like a mad woman. I'm on cloud nine.
