Boom free jump

So yay! We had Boom's hocks injected last week and I wanted to see how he was feeling, plus just wanted to have some fun. Pulled out this barrel for free jumping and he just loved it. He's bee pretty sore, so recently when I've asked him, he's not been enjoying it. This video is about the 4th time he sailed over, and we did a couple more times after that. Notice that his totally at liberty - and I didn't even try it first with the rope. I just walked him out there and said "over" and he TOOK off for it. He was sailing! Notice how I keep moving him around at the beginnign, because if I didn't keep him busy, he just ditched me for the barrel. Cracked me up! So glad you seem to be feeling better Boom-Boy!

@YoAmazona This is Jessica's Boomer. We don't jump him because of 3 reasons...

1. I mostly ride him & I'm not a jumper (Jess' parents own him, but I take care of him for them).

2. Since the accident he has not been quite the same - not injured but not as athletic.

3. Most importantly, we don't want to see anyone jump him who isn't Jessica. Best to leave those memories just of Jess.

He missed her terribly in the beginning, I don't doubt that.

@moonrockrancgh

what do u mean with "not as athletic"? he have problems on his body? or that is cuz he remember the accident?

u say that he missed jess too much before, and now? he forgotten her? .. :S then u are the only one who ride him? it seems like u think that he's urs... =SS and that's sick...

@YoAmazona You are being quite judgemental and need to tone it down. I am happy to answer your questions (you can see in all my Boom videos I respond thoughtfully), but your last sentence is plain rude and insensitive. If you want me to answer your questions, ask them again in a more appropriate manner and I'm happy to have a conversation.

@moonrockrancgh I was talking with the owner of his facebook, it names "Jessica Marie Forsyth" and when I ask about u and this channel he/she said this:

-Yeah, It was probably Brandi or another rider. hes not acting right. And yeah. it hurts seeing someone else ride him other than Jess. it does being back memories.

@YoAmazona I'm not sure I understand what you're explaining, but in response to your questions about Boomer's condition... I have invested money in 2 chiropracters, an accupuncturist and 2 vets to figure out if there's something worth exploring. We all see very subtle deficiencies, but there's just not enough to point us in a strong direction for more diagnostics. It's safe to assume that something happened during the accident that is mild but permanent. He did, after all, flip over a fence.

@yoAmazona also, I do not think that Boom would ever forget Jessica, I think he has healed somewhat, and because he is surrounded by her friends and family, and other people who care for him, he lives a good life and he's happy - which is exactly what Jessica would want.

@Cheesekake343 Boom takes it, and comes back on his own to do it again! It's all about fun for him!

[Cheesekake343]

Wow that's amazing! Most horses would have gone around it!!!

Hes doing so well! I bet he misses Jess like crazy!
