Show Jumping

Sunday we decided to take some horses to Sunnybank show Jumping. Freya has never jumped away from here before so it was a new experience for her. She took Phoebe who also hasn’t jumped away from home for a long time. I took Blue this was her 2nd show and Amelia took Destiny who hasn’t jumped since she had a sore back a few weeks ago so we decided to do a small class with her to see how she was. I looked at the schedule which said it was a championship show but open to everyone, trouble was they had every filler possible and more flowers than the Chelsea flower show. (Looked Beautiful though). Phoebe was horrified Freya managed to get to the fourth fence in the first class and the 7th in the 2nd class, Freya rode her well though and I’m sure they will do better with a bit more experience. Blue was also horrified, the first round was horrendous we didn’t actually have any refusals but jumped quite a few from a standstill with many a dire jump posistion and three fences down. The 2nd class was much better, didn’t have much brakes but she jumped them all with no hesitation this time, had one down and picked up a fifth. Phoebe and Blue were very well behaved and Sarah and Jodie were very helpful riding them outside for us. Amelia jumped one round onDestiny and picked up a 3rd but she did seem uncomfortable in her back afterwards so we left it at that, Physio is coming out Thurs so she can have a look at her then.
