    So Pigeon and I headed back up to Washbrook Farm for a lesson with Nigel Taylor over the weekend (Aston le Walls, Daventry, 05.06.12). Really great experience that I would recommend to all regardless of what level you compete or ride at. Pigeon was her usual amazing self - she jumped everything first time and really showed her boldness and agility over some pretty big and technical obstacles! There were issues with the owl hole... She jumped it first time but dropped her right shoulder on landing (and I came off). She then refused to jump the fence again (I came off a second, and nearly a third, time). At that point I had to admit to having lost my nerve with it so we sensibly decided to leave that one for another day. It was only afterwards that I discovered Pigeon had scraped a chunk off skin off her belly jumping it the first time - no wonder she landed oddly and was so reluctant to jump the owl hole again! So many lessons learnt in such a short time... Uppermost I think is, 'do not get ahead of your horse!' :-)

    I'm really glad you didn't get angry with her! Punishing a horse that's unsure or scared of a jump is only going to make it more difficult for the horse to trust you and itself.

    The fact that you kept urging and encouraging her on by saying 'good girl' and 'well done', warms my heart. You made sure she was ok, and stopped trying the jump after you knew something was up. A true equestrian is one that cares about horses, they don't even have to be able to ride! It could be on a video game or something, you know when you are an equestrian. I sadly don't have enough money to care for a horse of my own, so I take out ponies from my stables.

      Honestly I agree 100% but sometimes you need to keep bringing your horse back to the jump to make sure they know to listen to you but I 100% agree with you.

Explains her reluctance which is very unlike her! I haven't been back up to school since so not had another go at it yet. Fortunately I don't compete at that level so there's no pressure :)

    The agility of that horse is impressive, even after galloping for a while and jumping many obstacles she still manages to get through the next obstacle. I can feel a great chemistry between you and your horse, and I'm hoping to achieve that level of trust and skill with a horse someday. Props from a fellow horse lover!

    And she doesn't get blamed when failing that one jump. And she gets kind words from her rider. Which is rare. And she even seem to enjoy jumping. Which is even more rare. Wish we had more of these kinds of riders in the jumping fields. I actually once got told off by another rider in a competition because I spoke to my horse, which was apparently amateurish and out of place. I also reached down and petted my horse on her chin, after haven left the field after the race. I REALLY like this riders way.

    I could practically feel my body slamming to the ground with you on that first fall! Great video, felt like I was there. :) I miss cross country. At 27 I think my horse is a tad too old now, although he'd beg to differ I'm sure, the sprightly fool!

      Pigeon will be 16 in May but no-one seems to have told her! I hope she just keeps going and hearing about 27 year olds that are still sprightly is inspirational! Thanks for watching and commenting :)

  • @wirinaholstein4076

    Oh WOW! May look like a small thing but I can't help focus on how this horse have her ears pointed forwards the whole time which is quite rare in jumping - both free-jump and classic jump. She also seem to have good rein-contact with her rider. She's guided and coordinated but not restricted or pulled in.

    • @anadin56
      @anadin56  10 лет назад

      Pigeon loves her jumping. Even when she does stop you can see that the ears are pricked and she wants to go, but has a blip at the last second. She usually has good reason to stop... I have learnt that over the years and that's why I rarely blame her or get angry! Thanks so much for your kind comments :)

    Your horse looks like such a sweetheart! The look she gives you when she refused the jump and you fell just looks to me like, "Sorry, Mom! I didn't mean for you to fall, I just didn't want to jump that!"
    Also, she's my absolute Favorite shade of bay, and I'm partial to bays in general.

  • @anadin56
    @anadin56  12 лет назад

    That's a good idea, thanks for posting it! Usually Pigeon is fine with all kinds of jumps. She jumped that fence the first time but it did give her belly a scrape hence the relutance to jump it again, bless her! :-)

  • @anadin56
    @anadin56  12 лет назад

    First time buying a horse myself! She was up for £4500 with tack and rugs, but failed the vetting so we settled at a lower price. Any horse is worth what someone is willing to pay - I know that sounds obvious but it is true. The former owner of Pigeon was quite keen to get rid of the horse (to save her the bills not because she didn't still love her) so I took her on a six month loan to start with. Not all owners will agree to that but it's worth asking for a trial period with a contract. x

    I am a chatter box - lol! I hadn't noticed her eyeing the other jumps... but that's Pigeon-pants for you - always looking for the next obstacle. I do love her!

  • @kayleigh807

    At about 3:30...
    Pigeon: I've gone through here before. Now *you* go through the hole and I'll wait back here.

  • @anadin56
    @anadin56  11 лет назад

    Glad you enjoyed riding (and falling) along with me! It was not all that wet and I had screwed studs into Pigeon's shoes to provide some extra grip - essential eventing equipment. x

  • @anadin56
    @anadin56  11 лет назад

    Hey Karis! How exciting, I hope you and Rosie enjoy it! As this is training you can take the time to (hopefully) give you both a really positive experience to give you confidence for the next time! Safety first - someone nearby on the ground (with a charged mobile phone), hat strap done up, body protector if you have one, long sleeves (some people wear a stock to add a layer over the neck), keep those shoulders rolled back (even if you are in a light seat out of the saddle) [more to follow...]

  • @Desidog02
    @Desidog02 11 лет назад

    Ouch! I hope you and Pigeon we're okay!! I almost came off my lesson horse today while cantering, so I know how you feel. Great job on the jumps! XC must be so much fun! :)
