And now, the famous JUNIOR!**NEW PICTURES!!!**

[JuniorxMyxLove]

I FINALLY got pictures of Junior! More importantly, I finally rode Junior! For the first time in over 6 months! I literally screamed! I was so excited that I didn't notice i put my chaps on the wrong legs (my trainer did though ) I had a great lesson!We had some issues on who decided where we turned, but my tainer gave me a crop and the problem was solved :]

AND!!! We were jumping, and I was doing the most advanced stuff because everyone else was having issues with their horses/pony. But my trainer got all mad at me because on one little course, I got the steps all messedup and we took off from a mile away on every jump, so she made the jumps BIGGER. So I started the course, and we got over the first and second jump (little one and a medium-ish - for me - oxar) When I turned the corner and went over the third jump, I had the crap scared out of my! My trainer raised the jump AGAIN! I was really scared of it, but junior never slowed down. He took off at the perfect time and i relaxed in the middle and then we missed the next jump but that was bc i was still thinking about the big one. I finished the little course and took my place in line again. I told my trainer that it was a BIG jump, and she said, "Well it's a good sized jump, it's 2'9"!!!!!!!!!!" HOLY CRAP! thats the biggest I've ever jumped, on the tiniest pony I ride!

Yea but she didn't have me go over it again. She had me do 2 outside lines, and the second one was jump 5 steps jump one step jump. I got totally unglued at the one step, and I yanked his mouth sooo hard! Ifelt really ad. Just wondering, is there anything I can do to help keep collected between those two jumps? Other then mane grabbing. I love holding his soft, poofy mane, but it's hard for me to steer :]

Here's the pictures:

His bridle is half off there :]

Do you think I'm too tall for him?? Because I really don't want to not ride him.

He's cute.

Your deffinatly not too tall for him. I'm like 5'6 and I rode my Halflinger perfectly fine and I wasn't too tall for him.

LOL, I do that too sometimes!

Well done on the jumping, I think jumping higher is easier than the little jumps as both you and the horse concentrate a lot more on getting over!

I don't think you're too big for Junior at all, I rode a 13.2hh Fell pony a few weeks back and I'm nearly 6 foot.

Glad you enjoyed yourself, and Junior is a beaut!

Junior looks really great! I love his coloring.
I'm glad you were able to share pictures with us! It quite obvious you enjoying being with Junior so much. =]

haha that's the second time i've put my chaps on wrong! Since christmas! haha I LOVE junior. And I think I've figured out that he's around 13hh. But he's VERY round. And I'm 5'6".

I liked the higher jump much more. I don't think I can ever go back to jumping the little baby warm up ones lol. But then again, I was on Junior.

GOOOD NEWS EVERYONE! For the summer, i'm switching to monays at 1, so there will be a better chance of getting junior and joey because on fridays, everyone who rides jumps. So I'm looking forward to my summer sessions. Only 2 more weeks!!
:]

[Toby's my baby]
