Tilly jumps in public!!!

Today saw Tilly's first public outing for over a year and a half.  She was very cool about it all just like an old pro until we got into the collecting arena....luckily there were only three of us to begin with so it gave me chance to have a good trot round and calm her down a little!  Everything was just a bit exciting but she pulled her head in and we had a lovely walk to canter (not asked for) but with no humping I though I'd take what as on offer and carried on!  She work nicely on the flat and I let the others know before jumping the cross pole for the first time...just in cast I got humped off....but she was a star!  We jumped the warm up fences a couple of times and then went into the main arena to do the clear round.  I had chosen Myerscough for our first jumping outing as the surface is lovely and the fences were small so if she took a flyer then she hopefully wouldn't put too much strain on her legs.  She bobbed round twice, a little speedy at times, but all things considered she was fantastic......It was soooo good to be jumping again.  So everything crossed that she stays sound and we can go xc schooling on the 29th. :))
A big well done to Sarah and Sharna, next to us in the above pic who also got a clear round, possibly quicker than Tilly!!
