Devil Jumps and Beefheart Year End Standings

Since Indy and Winn had the laser therapy and adjustments yesterday, I just hand walked them today. I decided that a walk on the track that goes through the cross country course would be good for Indy since I want to start riding her out there soon. She was really good  for the most part and I think that she enjoyed it.

I decided to snap some pics of the jumps for all of you eventer crazies out there. Seriously though, ya'll have some balls. Most of these jumps made me about pee my pants just looking at them. It's not the height, it's the fact that they're so damn solid. There were about three things that looked fun to me: the banks, the water jumps, and the few jumps that were 2'6" and under. So, you guys have nothing but my utmost respect.



No thanks.

Pan view of the barn area.

No way.

The track

Indy really thought that the graczing part was great.

The only jump that really bothered her was this one. She thought that the mustache was a winged demon. Keep in mind that she is not a fan of big wooden boxes on the ground (giant mounting blocks).

Hell no!

Maybe, but probably not.

The one on the right. MAYBE.

On another note, I looked up the final standings for the NMDA shows. Beefs and I are 1st at training level with an average of 70.266.



I'm not sure how they are going to pick the placings for first level. The requirements are that you ride three tests and one of them has to be 1-3. Beefs and I were going to do that test at the next show, but it was cancelled anyway, we would have been in the same spot even if I hadn't lost him. I'm the only one that has three tests, but there are a couple of people with tests at 1-3. So, if they go by the average, we will win that. His average first level score was 66.72.

Either way, I am so proud of him and thankful that we had the opportunities we did. I was very blessed to have a horse like him in my life.

I will do the post about the laser therapy and adjustments on both of them soon, I'm just waiting to get one of the thermal images.
