Well, as I've had Tommy for over a year now I wanted to do a then-and-now video... But I killed my laptop last week so lost EVERYTHING :( So instead I've just used some footage from a photoshoot last week and jumping this weekend. Please notice the difference of one week! Used this song because it's the song I used on the first video of Tommy - he means the world to me, he always makes my day better, if I'm tired or grumpy, he's always doing something daft to cheer me up! Yesterday I put two fences up just to school him over smaller fences to get more rhythm and balance between the fences, get used to a good canter into and away from fences. After making him trot into a couple he was listening, and I could easily place him in the canter. After about 1m he was still listening and actually using his back to jump, rather than flattening and going at 100mph, so we put them up a bit... Then a bit more... Watch til the end to see how well he does :) Even at that height, I left him alone into the fence and he placed himself and didn't go flat out, jumped them all really well. Excuse my position, I had no idea if or how he would jump it so I left him to it and just tried to stay in balance with him without throwing myself over the fence or being left behind! Comments welcome :) very, VERY happy with him. Goes to show he CAN go round a 1m10 class with a bit more style! www.torheardeventing.co.uk
