Picture has Bear in it as I forgot to take one of Pred. Here we have a story from today. The sun was warm and the ground is soft enough to allow us to jump. Pred isn't much of a jumper. He's very green with poles so I wasn't expecting much. Anywho I got on and warmed up. Every thing was going great. He felt very springy. Like a I'm ready to jump spring. 15 minutes in I decided the warm up was enough and we were ready to tackle a jump. Oh how I was wrong 🤦🏻♀️ we came round in a steady, bouncy canter heading towards the jump. In the moment I thought we were going to fly. He felt so confident. Little s**t is good at being a liar. Dirty stopper. He slammed on the brakes and throw his head down followed with a 180° spin then a bolt with some added bucks for good measure. I *being in the jumping position* was launched out of the saddle and landed half way up his neck. When he spun I was launched even further round his neck. Ending up being a piece of jewellery for the t**t. The bucks were not appreciated either. Somehow I was able to wiggle my way back into the saddle. I ended up getting off after that and jumping the jumps with him 😂😂
