Had my first few jumps on the new pony today.
Just little cross bars, but WOW, he nearly fired me off at the first jump!
Came in at a sedate trot and out of nowhere came this massive big launch. The rest of the little jumps (X's with baby fillers) I knew a little more what to expect and was able to just go with him. He has tremendous power behind, and has a very comfortable jump, although did become a little strong.
Photos courtesy of Mum who at 85 has quite a bit of trouble trying to take photos - so they were initially tiny weeny dots in the distance which have been cropped.
The one jumping pic she actually somehow managed to video it on her camera and I took a still off, so pretty poor quality - but hey, its a photo!
Not his best attempt as he was starting to just pop over at that stage, rather than launch.
