My first NZ Show Jumping Lesson!

well I had my first show jumping lesson in ....&%years! not telling how many, but its in the double figures!

I was a little nervous, as you'd expect but Gonzo Jumped everything, but got a bit excitable as I was apparently sending vibes for him to "go for it" but was holding him back...to solve the problem the Instructor - Fergus, made me jump with my eyes closed!...well it worked, Gonzo jumped perfectly.

On the second day, I had hopefully left my "electric bum" at home and we did do better, a couple of times he got excited but I relaxed and we both settled into the lesson.

I did bounces, trebles, spreads and uprights, it was fun, I really enjoyed it, and hopefully the next lessons I can take my own horse!

No photos....as the resident photographer was riding the horse!

Rob had a good time sunday too, he went off with the boys....riding the trials bikes on Oreti beaches sand dunes, and having a blast.....apparently the next item on the shopping list is a bike of his own, and Rob and Roger are on a mission to get him sorted out with one before we go to Cromwell in October.....Yes I can see it now... oh they said I needed to get 3 extra jobs to pay for the toys they are planning to buy!
