Babe's (Clydesdale) First Jumper Course

I had a great opportunity to bring Babe (7 year old Clyde Mare) to her first Jumper Show. (and mine :D ) At Edenview Equestrian Center.
We usually only get to do very simple schooling hunter shows, with plain white verticals.
This is her first time being in a show like this, and I am very proud :D
Yes, we only got over 2 jumps, but I was happy with her.
We did 3 courses that day, this is the first course, the second course we got through the whole round, with only a couple of refusals, the third course (wich I will post) we went clear.
We trot the courses because she is still green. :) But Im hoping to get her going soon!

@Appaloosapinto no way, I would never do that :) babe is such an honest girl, I know she is genuinely unsure if she refuses, so I don't get mad and hurt her, But I just try again! I want her to be happy with her job, and trust me. Plus it was only her first time seeing things like this, and we did get around the course clear after it.

It's really nice that you were happy with her after this, I know a lot of riders woudl be throwing a tantrum and beating their horse if they refused this many times.

@TheHighwayHorse I have a video of her actually completing a clear round too.
