Picture of Brutus (14h pony) jumping 4'3"

I'm so proud of my little boy.



Thats Brutus jumping 4'3", and our standards are a little high so its probably 4'6" which according to the same standards is what he free jumped a week ago so it was probably a little higher. And the best thing was that that was as high as the standard went so he could've probably gone higher.

He's only showing courses of 2'9", but that's because that's the highest course I can do, not him. And I'm improving... or so I hope.

My goal is Junior Amateur Jumpers (3'9") and then I'll evaluate selling him. I don't know if I can, even though if I reach that goal he'll be a good $18000 more than I bought him. We'll see, I didn't buy him to sell, so I let myself get attached.

I wish he was a stallion, he'd throw some nice babies.

Yeah, he's really good about tucking really nicely. He loves to jump. If you put him in an arena with a shoot for free jumping he doesn't even need to be led there, he just trots down to it and canters up the shoot and jumps, and then he's done he barely gives you any time to raise the jumps before he's at it again.

Sorry I haven't replied in a while - I was on vacation.

lol it looks like that jump is like 2 foot and the pony is like 12 hh not 14.
Those are 6 foot standards, so if that's throwing you off sorry... And he is most certainly not 12hh, he is just so amazingly built, he looks like a little package :P. But when you stand up next to him, he is actually bigger than he seems.

Wow! He's amazing! See alot of people told me there was no way my horse could jump higher than 3ft becuase she was short (14.3hh) but no way! This horse is the poster child! lol Do you show him?
Obviously the person who told you that hadn't seen Teddy O'Connor, who was a much better poster child (14.2ish, and competed upper level eventing, including several top-place finishes at the Rolex). My sister also saw a 13 hh Stallion win a Grand Prix a few years ago. Ponies can do amazing things. At the moment I show Brutus 2'9" but my goal for him is Junior Amateur Jumpers (3'9") before I even consider selling him (unlikely).
