TIGER WAS A.M.A.Z.I.N.G BEASTTTT!!!!
WHAT A FEEEEELINGGG!!!!
So took Tiger for xc for the 1st time this year, and he was MEGAAAA... All that sj practice I have done recently has DEFIANTLY paid off, he was SO bold, and really straight and accurate, although we had a couple of fliers but you gotta have some fliers xc HAHA!!!
Oh Oh and he went STRAIGHT in the water I was worried that he would freak as thats the usual at water on the ground, and last year had a bit of trouble!!! But this year didn't care HAHA!!!
Jumped some MEGA stuff, never dreamt I would ever jump with him!!! Biggest was 1.15 square wooden house, the skinny brush after the table was about 1m, and that beast hedge was 1.20, high and wide :O IT WAS HUDGEEEEEEE
He was even giving leads to 'proper' horses haha!!!
Haven't got many pictures, and they are all over the smaller stuff I jumped coz once I had warmed up dad refused to walk round the course so just let me get on with it, I was like ''I'm just gonna jump that hedge'' ''Oh no jess thats too big'' I canter off and Tiger pops it HAHAH!!!
So much to say HAHA but I wont bore you any longer!!!
Also here's my new video, it means alot to me, the lyrics I can relate to ALOT I had alot of 'non-araby' people saying he was 'no good' 'not sutiable' 'I wouldn't be able to control a crazy stallion' AND LOOK AT US NOWWWW!!!! GIVING YOU LEADS OVER SCARY XC FENCES :P HAHAH

Out of water on angle-
Oooo Concentration ;)
Beefy hedge
LOL!!!
:wub: :wub:
CHEESEEEE
STILLLLS
Oh did I mention, arabs can jump, mine certainly can ;)

Wow Jess. You showed 'em all. I love that Robbie Williams track and it really does say it all about your doubting Thomases. It is all about the partnership and no-one could have a better one than you and Tiger. What a fabulous horse who is really enjoying his job.
Have looked at your other "forever" video as well. You have done a fantastic job with him and you clearly love each other very much. Brought a tear to my eye.
thanks for sharing. x |

Wow well done you and Tiger...or should he be called Tigger? I am highly envious , my xc jumping consists of 1ft fences
Which XC course is that? - I don't recognise it.
I'm actually popping to Pachesham tomorrow for a schooling session. Unfortunately I can't make the performance show as Ettie is out of action (I am stealing my mum's non-arab horse tomorrow).
Love your pictures...He is stunning!

RIP Ettie 2003 - 2010 |

Well doesn't that do your heart good. Absolutely fantastic both of you!!!!!! You have every right to be extremely proud. It's wonderful to see Arabs doing things, real things. Keep it up you are a brilliant ambassador for the Arab. Thankyou for giving so much hope and for sharing those marvellous pics. |

Oh Jess and Tiger - that has just made me cry!
What wonderful, wonderful photos that capture the amazing relationship between the two of you
Do you know what is the best bit though - your love for each other and trust in each other just shines through
The pair of you are amazing
Go Fly the Flag with pride and glamour and keep enjoying every single second
The other thing I really like is that you acknowledge he needed help and time and you've given it to him - so many people don't but if you do, the rewards are beyond belief - just look at how he tackles the skinny after the drop - he locks on as soon as he reaches the step and he has no doubt that you'll be there with him.
And he's so smooth and balanced and rythmical with a natural eye for a stride.
Super, super, super
Thank you so much for sharing your love and your pride

Given the time and patience, proof indeed your efforts have been well rewarded. Photo of the skinny fence, superb!! Tiger really tackling it with confidence and ease
