So in January I got my 13 year old 17hh TWH. He's a big guy! He's so perfect and we enjoy a lot of trail rides together. Unfortunately I moved and don't have a trailer so although i'm more in the country i'm farther from accessible trails. It's just the gravel rode. Yuck. ANYWAYS-- the girl I bought him from said he's been there done it all and even said she's jumped him. I have also jumped a few small branches, logs, etc. on him during trail rides. On to my question I guess..lol
So do you think this is something Skyy and I could do? I'd get a trainer of course and he doesn't know how to trot...He does gait. I really doubt he'd have a problem learning because he learns SO fast and is always aiming to please. I wouldn't do it to become world famous twh jumper girl. Honestly I just want something fun to do with him besides riding in an arena and round pen! A lot of people do barrels around here but he's just too big for that although it doesn't stop him from trying LOL
If so are there anythings I can do to prepare myself and him?
I have a few pictures of him. :]
Thanks!
