Cecil went to his first jumping show this weekend. He competed in a flat class (walk, trot, canter on the rail both directions), a hunter hack class (2 little jumps), and a schooling jumper class (an 8 jump course, up to 2'6"). He did SO WELL, my goal for the day was to expose him to the jumping arena and different types of fences, and to have him leave confident and happy. Mission accomplished! A very fun day. Also note the incredibly long tail Cecil is sporting - it may look like a really well done fake tail but it's the real deal. Unfortunately there are no pictures of Cecil jumping the fences at twice the necessary height - the little digital camera couldn't keep up with the dim lighting in the indoor arena. To top off the good vibes, the judge announced in front of all the competitors that Cecil was "BY FAR, the nicest mover here today". Cecil and I both left with swelled heads.
