[eringle1212]

hey this is me! haha, i had no clue i was on here...

[hcf381]

cross country looks really fun! is it hard to learn?

[ilovepreciousjim2]

@hcf381 its not really much of the learning part that is hard its about having the endurance of both you and your horse and strength and guts and knowing that at any moment that something bad could happen putting you and your horses life at jeopardy. now i know that, that can be at any discipline of riding but its more escalated in eventing

[ponycrazy66]

well that makes me feel better haha

[ponycrazy66]

oh really? thats cool. because i would be pacing up and down it for like. a whole day trying to remember haha.

[Rachel7861]

great job! nice horse too.

[ChampionEquestrian]

In cross country I can barely jump 3'4''. These riders are good.

[ponycrazy66]

wow! that was cool

ive always wanted to do cross country but how do u remember the course? i can remember showjumping courses, but yeh i dont think i could remember a cross country one

[potcaddist12313]

what was the jump height?

[EventingQueen92]

that horse has awesome movement! good job!

[pancakewafflesticks]

Does anyone know any places in VA where you can trian XC?

[potcaddist12313]

foxcroft

frying pan park

google it!

[pancakewafflesticks]

reallly foxcroft has it? score you rock=)

[desilvano]

that is incredible! I've done years of showing 3'6" hunters but I'm way too chicken to jump a 2 foot xcountry fence.

[magstang2]

Great riding! I'm planning on doing their two-day event in the fall at beginner novice. Was the ditch a half-ditch or a full ditch? My horse has issues with ditches- his owner passed on this fear when she started him.

[Goodiversion]

rolex here you come! maybe one day i'll meet you there ;)

[EVTR4lfe]

Good riding. I sooo wish I could show where the VA horse trials are but they're a bit too far away...

[RIDERatHEART]

nicely done! you look great. one tip though. try to use your leg mroe than your reins, your horse wont pop his shoulder as much. but omg you look so goood, i WISH i could ride like youu =D keep up the good work

[charmedsilver]

haha I love the cross cantering down the hill. Nicely done. :D

[hipersonhello]

arent you not supposed to trot in cross country?

[manonluvesfruit]

nah you mostly canter and/or gallop!!!!

but you are allowed to trot - its just that you are timed thats all!!!

[hipersonhello]

okey dokey.

[pancakewafflesticks]

Ya they were jumping i'm guessing because it's beginner/horse was havng a bad day/first time/ or they felt like it XD

[nikopenn]

wow... makes jumping look effortless

[teresaponziani]

This is what cross country riding is supposed to be. I wish I could do it this well.
