Love those pics! Your friend is so lucky to get into all that at such an early age. For a while when I was in my early 20's, I exercised a man's horses for him. Their daughter was just about 13 or so and taught me how to jump over those big blue barrels. Now that was fun! Of course, I was doing it in a western saddle but I didn't care. I would love to get into jumping some day but can't afford more than one horse and Arabs aren't used for jumping, as far as I know. Thanks for sharing all those pics. I know you must have a lot of fun.
I know, Kat has been jumping since she was about 6 or 7, although she's only had Gambol 2 or 3 years! I have wanted to jump for some time now, and I think my horseback riding teacher is going to start me in english pretty soon, even though I do enjoy western. But yea, Gambol is a sweet horse, and I miss him lots!
