09.15, phone call from the yard.<\/p>\n
‘You are not going to believe what your horse’ (I just knew that Sammi was talking about Tom) ‘has done.’<\/p>\n
‘What?’<\/p>\n
‘You know the field behind the lorry park?’<\/p>\n
‘Yes.’<\/p>\n
‘He’s just cleared it.’<\/p>\n
‘But from the paddock side of the fence that’s 6′ tall!’<\/p>\n
‘And then he trotted up to the 3’6″ post and rail’ (which is post and rail then a wall then post and rail on the other side) ‘and cleared it.’<\/p>\n
‘That’s a 3’6″ on both sides with a 4′ spread.’<\/p>\n
We’ve had a little conference at the yard and have come up with a plan to hopefully mitigate Tom’s jumping tendencies.<\/p>\n
This evening, the third consecutive evening of schooling, I popped him around a 2’9″ course of showjumps in the outdoor arena.<\/p>\n
He’s a joy to jump, shows the same attitude to work that I felt when I tried him out.<\/p>\n
I love Vin to bits, but Tom is a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
