So on Saturday it was xc time for Sparkie and Sunny again! Back off to Somerford but this time we did the farm ride. Sunny was a bit of monkey and quite nappy but once he'd had a good telling off he jumped lovely and gave everything a good go. Sparkie was so, so confident, he genuinely was such a pleasure to ride, he just took everything in his stride; whatever he was pointed at he went straight over. Most of the fences were about 3ft which is usually a little bit out of his comfort zone (even though he is more than capable) but he wasn't phased at all, he was just having so much fun and felt brilliant. I can honestly say it was the best he's ever felt for me, probably one of the best memories I've had with him in over 5 years! What a little super star! If I can keep this happy, confident Sparkie I would be more than happy, he really is excelling himself at the minute.
wish he wouldn't make jumps look so small! You're only 13.3hh remember Sparks!
Fab ponies :) In other news, Jack is off work at the minute as he's not been 100%, he's slightly lame, so he's just been chilling and healing himself, hopefully he'll be okay again soon. Ron had his feet done with no sedation for the first time the other week (and his first time having his feetsies trimmed with us) and also had his mane pulled ready to be a little show pony one day.
