Thanks! all our hard work came together and it felt really great:o) I just
wish that I had someone taking pics.

I see.....yes Freddie does like to clear fences, show jumping he tends to
get over excited especially if its a small track and I need to keep
'checking' him. A few weeks ago I took him to Rogate and had a lesson over
their XC course and he absolutely loved it, in fact we both did; purely
because I could let him 'run' on a bit which meant I'd lost the height
factor!.

Thank you, will report back.
