Cross Country

21st December we went to Whitford PC to go cross country schooling, Oliver was pretty tired as we had gone on a hack Saturday along bridle paths and down to Whitford beach but he did get into it once he got the idea. Let me tell you, this horse has no issues with Water jumps which is a change from my last, we had a little disagreement about a little green box, he jumped it straight off the first time and jumped in HUGE and then did a big buck afterwards. Think he gave himself a bit of a fright and he didn't want to jump it again after that but as usual me being stubborn he jumped it after about 3 stops but we jumped more spookier things than that and he flew everything, ditches, banks, big concrete pipes!! Decided he was a little too tired to load on the truck on the way home though..... but convinced him to get in, what a big week for Oliver, lucky Christmas is coming and I will try to take him on more treks.
