Halo:-
We did some 5" jumping training and she cleared them all. I also worked again with her on her 4th level dressage test which we have been having a lot of trouble on. But this time we both got it right first time. I think all our practice on it had paid off.

Raven:-
I tacked up raven like we had been practicing for weeks. then me and staci went into the lunging arena. We lunged her round in both directions then i gave the lunge line to staci. i walked up to raven and lent across her back, when all my weight was even and off the ground staci sent raven off at a walk. Raven walked forward but she kept looking round to see if i was still there. Next staci asked her to trot. For the first time i felt ravens folowing trot. Her back did not bounce it kept conpleatly still. That was when i desided that she was going to be trained as a dressage horse. We did the same thing on the other rein and then gave raven a big pat and took her back to the stables.

Baby:-
Last sesion with baby i lunged her over a 2" jump. Today I desided to ride her over the same jump but with a rug over it. She did it perfectly so i told my kids, who were watching, to take the rug away and to put one of our brightly coloured filler underneath. Baby diddent like the filler so she cleared the jump as if it was 2" higher. I took her over it a few more times untill she realised that the filler was not going to 'get' her, and she jumped it smaller. To finish i went to tack baby back over the 2" jump, baby went up at a canter, i tried to slow her but in the end i just let her go, But she turned suddenly and headed for the 4" jump that i had been training halo over. I felt her ajust her stride under me. She took of in the right place and went over the jump in beutifull arc, without even touching the it. I couldent belive it. Baby had just jumped the highest jump in the arena without me even asking her too. I am going to have to tell saddle this.
What do you think saddle please repily.

Patriot:-
Amanda spent some time grooming him in the paddock so he will get used to her being around.

Spice:-
Breed: Anglo Arab
Colour: Steel/Dapple Grey
Age: 6
Gender: Stallion
Height: 16.2hh
Spice jumps 5" and and is doing 4th level dressage. He is wonderfull at cross country. This stallion is going to be the best one day as there is still room for improvement.

Spice is one of my newest horses. All i did today with him was give him a groom and lunge him. He looked beutifull on the lunge. His head was in an arc and his tail was held high. He is the most beutifull horse i have ever seen. If anyone thinks that they might have a pic for him, or they know where i could get one please can you tell me.

Extremly Lucky:-
6
16.3hh
TB
Blood Bay
Eventing(4th level dressage and 5 foot jumping)
An excellent mare to own. She is starting cross country training at the moment. Sweet and loving but when she gets under saddle she is amazing.
She loves kids and will let any level rider ride her, from beginner to advanced. She is very smooth in trot and canter.

Lucky is also one of my newest horses. When i first saw her at mals i new that i had to have her. Me and mal came to an agreement on her. So today i asked jamie to come with me. I gave jamie a leg up into he saddle and watched and Lucky waited for him to tell her what to do. Jamie walked, troted and cantered her on both reins and took her over a small jump. I was realy impressed. Jamie is one of my most nervous kids but she still behaved well with him. Most horses her size and abilaty would not have carried Jamie around like she did. I told jamie to tack her back in as i trusted Lucky. As with Spice if anyone has a pic for lucky please can you tell me.

Elite_Challenge:-
Pic:- http://www.rainbowequus.com/images/gotthard02.jpg
6 year old gray Hanovarian stallion, 16.2 hands high, very polite and smooth, lots of energy & potential, trained as a show jumper (5") and 2nd level dressage (and training 3rd).

Challenge is also a new horse. I lunged him and he was realy good. I also groomed him. Then i went inside to sort out his stud papers.
