LAST Jump Nite at Wild Run Farm OCT

Angel & I

He is doing much much better now that his drama is over.

We are moving above and beyond

He looks happier...

there is far less tail swishing and teeth grinding...

both great signs of success!

Listening and not pulling reins out of my hands...

staying tucked longer and round before jumping.

Perfect take off... both rears firmly planted side by side... ahhhhhhhhhhh


I even got to take a round on my dearest darling sweet cheeks.... after Haley reluctantly gave me the opportunity.... :)

thanks Haley! I may even give you a credit on gas being your so nice & all !


Not my best side...but it shows her big ol' hooves... and my heels are down
... PHEW!

HALEY RICHARDS!

R U looking down?

BETTER NOT BE teaching my horse bad work ethic!

Haley's best side....

WELL! Cuz she always has a scowl on ...

NICE TUCK BABES!

WOW!

I mean WOW... take off down the runway from a mile away...

she has pegusus breeding I believe it was her moms side :)

See! Scowling... well... not smiling anyway... it was her last go of the nite.... BABY was tired although Haley could go a million more rounds... Baby calls it a nite after 79 jumps!

LOOK at that!

NICE NICE NICE

heels down... and chin up.... hands supporting... and horse happy!

HELLO ...!!!!!!!! PICTURE PERFECT...

oh and of course the fall foliage was just he icing on the cake!

After SEVERAL refusals on a jump already jumped 3 rounds clean

...

it was time for Candace instruction!

You can see Breezy wishing she was in on the scoop...

The "UH OH" you can see in her eyes!

after that ... it was back to the MILE HIGH club!

LIKE HOLY!

Sweet little jumper... this is what SCOPE looks like!

NO WAY NO HOW does breeze knock a jump down

... she might refuse if ILEAN is in the house

... but if all is perfect... her SCOPE gets the job done!

& this is the view of success :)

another nice view of a good "crest release" in the works...

chin looks a little "down" ... if you look close & compare other pics you will see the horse refects the riders perspective on where the eyes are

... HMMMMMM very intersting !

STILL LOTS TO DO

.... but we all are enjoying the journey and need each other to edify the good

and take note of the bad and keep plugging onward an upward!

Good job girls!

... maybe its time for HEP cross country course ?

... and I say....

GO BIG OR GO HOME!

Sadly...

I just cannot say enough about this amazing gelding.

Its sad to come to this juncture as I make this decision.

I have done what I can and will continue to do what I can with him in training until I find his perfect match. I want him to acquire his fullest potential and enjoy the years in his new found career of eventing and jumping.

He is a doll and a pleasure to work with.

I was hoping to be able to bring him along further to enjoy some of the fruits of my labor but it may not be in the cards for me this coming year.

I know he will inspire and be adored by that person he chooses and I know they will be happy on their journey.

Always thinking of you Angel... & knowing that your journey is in a positive direction.
