Dear Pony, You Win

I thought I could change you. From day one you wanted to go fast and jump high. I wanted you to fox hunt and event, slowly. This weekend when I chose to ride you at the hunter pace (not because all my TB's had missing shoes or anything), I finally agree. So, watch out pony jumpers, here comes Rosie and she likes to win!

Get a Witness - Jubilee Novice 2nd place

Meet Get a Witness. Isn't he gorgeous? Wit came home with 2nd place in his first Novice 3 phase last weekend at Jubilee HT. The new course at Jubilee is very impressive to say the least. Some of those jumps looked huge!  The drop down, which some competitors said looked training level, got several inquiries, but met regulation.  Get a Witness sailed over everything without hesitation including the super scary halloween table which had several stops.Wit is Sum Mojoe's best traveling buddy. They stable together at shows and swap stories. I think it was Wit who got Mojoe fired up about running his cross country round:)

A long wait, but Worth It

After watching all his shed row mates showing all day Saturday while he was left behind, Mojoe was a bit upset. He could see the cross country jumps and couldn't wait to get out there. On Sunday, he was the star and happy to be in the spotlight all day long. Sum Mojoe not only came home with the blue in his first 3 phase, but with great comments to help improve our dressage and a realization that even at a show, Mojoe needs to have his early morning training just like I need my coffee:)
