Faraway showing clinic

[fred2]

went to a showing clinic yesterday - taken by Jan Darwin - it was very good and she was brill.
only fault we have is that his tail is about 1" too long and I am too soft and let him drop onto his forehand at times - so if I am a bit tougher and don't let him do this he will become lighter and the picture is very good
after the lesson there were a few WH jumps up and we did them all - even the fillers (and in my dressage saddle with his double in) so I was well pleased at that ;D
Jessi kindly took a couple of photos.


I think they are going to try and get her up again well worth a lesson

Hi - well done for venturing out in such crap weather! did you get a private or a group? Has she given you any pointers?

Welldone for going out. Hes looking great. What colour browband did you go for?

[fred2]

I have just stuck with the same one as last year - green, navy and cream - might change it - will make one rather than bye one again.
PP - no real tips other than I have to sit up and not let him go onto the forehand - mainly on the left rein - my bad side and chop his tail a bit - oh it was a group of 3

Glad you enjoyed it fred...

I was told by someone that he is more of a show horse than a dressage horse - that pleased me no end - rather show than do dressage - just want him to do WH now!!
