same old, same old...tsk tsk


Same old shit again my dad just got mad about the same old shit he always gets riled up about haayyy... anyways don't want to think about that it ruins everything!!!
So the other day i was able to post some thing about cross country jumping and today i would like to share another kind of competition in the equestrian world called show jumping :)

Show jumping
is
a form of competition in which horses are jumped over a course of fences, low walls, and other obstacles (e.g., water-filled ditches or troughs). Show jumping is a competitive sport consisting of many elements. The course is pre-arranged; the event may be timed or untimed. It is scored by a judge or panel of judges. Show jumping or "jumpers" is a member of a family of English-discipline equestrian events that includes hunters and equitation. Events that include these sports are called hunter/jumper horse shows.

This kind of competition i have joined and boy is it heart raising. All i can say about it is that in this category you really need to know the horse and you should never show any kind of fear or uncertainty since the horse actually feels it :)
