I think my pinto mare is going to push me over into jumper-world very shortly.

She has never really gone like a hunter, but has always had a great jump. In the past two weeks, we've been schooling 4'3" oxers, about 4' wide, and she has absolutely NO issue with the height/width, jumps in perfect form and with no hesitation, and in fact settles down and focuses far more than she ever did over smaller heights.

George (fiance and former jumper rider), is determined to see if she'll jump the 5' mark in month or so.

Oh my. :shoot: This could get interesting.

Sounds like me pony, he can get very mad if he has to jump the weeny jumps. Once they go up he focuses much better and finds it a lot less boring. Then again, he's kinda :psycho:

Yes, it's Kalliopy (or Kali, for short) who's the big yump-er, as George likes to say.

RR, as soon as either someone else comes over to take them, or George learns how to point the camera *at* the object he wants to get a picture of, rather than at the ground...trees...the sky...his foot...etc., I will be glad to post pics. :teehee:
