Jumping clinic with William Fox-Pitt

[eventerlife1]

I love your ring ! It is X-country and show jumping in one !!!!!!

[BethanHorseMad]

SNOOW!!!!!!! I bet it took a while to warm them up? Does that arena have ditches and drops built in? Looks lush :D

[torabella]

@BethanHorseMad Yeah it does, it's a fab place but not cheap to hire! And it was blummin' cold, thankfully Tommy is a hot horse so was a warm boy. This feels like ages ago now!

[BethanHorseMad]

@torabella Oooh good :D aslong as it was worth the money you paid :)

[arenaballerinaa]

that arena looks amazing! i would spend hours in there lol. you did great (:

[kooki85]

It's so nice to see them gain confidence over ditches. :) I know what you mean about the water. I have a mare who hates mud and hates water! She's such a prima donna!

[showjumpingirl21]

lucky!! a trainer at my barn trained with him and boarded her horse with him when he was still in training. they are still good friends! after the WEG she called him to congradulate him and he said "it wasnt my best" !!!!! :O hes awesome! lol

[AdrenalineArt]

Is that a special XC arena with the water jump? Thats a pretty awsome idea, well ridden looks like you had fun despite the weather :)

[SH00TfromtheSTARTBOX]

you're so lucky to have an arena with so many xc elements!!

[torabella]

@SH00TfromtheSTARTBOX I wish this was my arena! It's at a yard near to me, but it's a bit out of my price range! It is pretty cool though :) x

[LTERIA]

Are you insane? That whater is almost freezed!!! Why don´t you take your boots off and try to cross it?

[torabella]

@LTERIA Haha they were fine! Weather wasn't on our side but I wasn't going to miss this opportunity! & the water was no where near freezing, it only started snowing half an hour before this.

[XoSophieandEbonyoX]

@LTERIA take a chill pill, WFp wasn't exactly going to let aload of horses onto a "frozen lake" now was he :/ if you knew half as much as you thought you did about horses you would know that the horses legs and hooves are constructed in a way to withstand very cold temperatures with out injury and their lower legs are mostly bones and tendons so they require much less blood circulating than muscles so they are much more susceptible to frostbite or cold. so there ;)

[Lucayy017]

That looks so fun, your a very good ride to :)

[OliviaAndEol]

aw wow amazing menage i cant wait til i go :D

shame about the snow but still what an amazing opportunity! a few people from my yard went to his clinic here too and said how good it was
