Well, I don't mind admiting when a horse has the better of me, and this one certainly did!! It was a hard day of riding this tricky horse , and he got the best me on more than one occasion. As you can see in the photo , he's a mighty beast and will…
Any ideas about base footing for water jumps? material, depth of material, don't want to bugger it up . It is in a natural winter water course that dries up in the summer,
just saw it. didn't think it would cost so much to make a cowboy and indian movie. I kept waiting for John Wayne to pop up!!
hey William, I think you must be discribing my place with sleapers and banks all over the place!!! The water jump is being built next week , finally! It will be nearly a 1/8 acre of water when it's done. Hope you have a great xmas .Cheers Geoffrey
Good thinking! Very nice pic!!
Well, I couldn't resist making a comment where comments are not allowed!!! Lets all have a discussion on the blog Preditor- Prey. I do believe that WILD horses see humans as preditors, as a threat . It is as simple as THE PLACEMENT OF OUR EYES . All…

He got the better of me!!

Koala hay??
For all you people that are wondering what Koala hay is, well it's a long story. In the 30's Koala's were introduced to Kangaroo Island , (not a native to the island) and for a good few years now they have been eating themselves out of house and home. Koala's only eat a particular type of gum leaves. Lots of Koala's ,not much to eat. So the government said we should Cull some of the Koala's so the numbers come down and they don't all starve to death.One quick shot or a slow lingering death by st… Continue

- You make this jumping stuff look so easy and graceful....well graceful it is...no doubt about that.
Today was a special day for Cash and I~~~got out of the arenas and rode around the yard and down the lane a little. I am thrilled! May sound silly to you but it was a big hurdle for me. Did you get the pun on that? Big Hurdle? It wasn't initially intentional. AND I set some very low jumps out for him Friday and we played around with that with me on the ground. I set two poles together for him to go over and a 4 in. high box and then a regular jump that was probably 6 in. At first he just sort of trotted over and then he started actually jumping. That's so pretty even at that low. I set out a couple barrels too on their side but he wanted nothing to do with going over those. I think the highest he's jumped for me is about 15 inches but he'd way over jump that. I wasn't comfortable with how the jumps were held up (they were useing the seats of a couple of chairs) so we didn't do it anymore. But now we can work with some real jumps so I think we'll end up playing around with them a little. Especially as it gets colder.
It was a good horse week-end for us...hope it was for you too.
By the way, I need some translation again. "A smile on your dial?" I suspect this is going to be very cute..
Keep up the good work with your students and horses!
