Cobs was good - I rode like a nana yet again & he took advantage of that which is fair enough. Once I got my shit together & started to ride like I meant it he went much better.
We played around with the water heaps as I have issues dropping in & then jumping out so that was great to work on. We did a little water combo with a jump a few strides before the water, dropped into the water, four strides & jumped out.
We only did pre-training & a few training jumps - I don't want to jump anything smaller than that as we need to get used to jumping that height.
Went round a few more jumps but unfortuantely Cobs managed to twist a shoe off & the quarter clip was jamming into his foot. Luckily Dad had come to watch so he ran home & got some tools & Karley managed to get the shoe off.
He is now incredibly sore though so I hope it hasn't done lots of damage. I have put a hoofeeze boot on to try & relieve some of the pain & fingers crossed the farrier can come out early next week. We had booked in for some comps next weekend but I think they will be off now.
Here are some photos:
