So today most of you know it was my combine training, and that my favorite pony is Boo (Farnley Kombu). Well in my show I rode him and in the jumping course he started to freak out. After the first jump he bucked and bolted, then kept bucking, I calmed him down but then after the second jump he did the same thing. Again, I calmed him down but then he bucked and bolted again! then we were about to do the fourth and then he bucked and stopped and I fell. But I got back on, completed the course, and since it was stadium jumping I received a perfect score because I had no refusals. But after I fell off, he cantered really fastly around the ring, and his reins weren't over his head so I was afraid his leg was going to get caught and he would fall, but he didn't. In the end I did well.  |

Lol, the fall didn't hurt at all. And it was my first fall! From a buck! On a jump course! In a show! I am quite proud

Wow, lucky you on the score, but do you know what may have spooked him?

I seriously don't know. There were flowers by the jump and maybe the flash of pink freaked him out. My friend and I just concluded that he was having fun, because when after he calmed down I walked him by the flowers and nothing was wrong.

Hmm. That's interesting. It's certainly a possibility. I wonder if that's right. Was there maybe like a bang or something somewhere?

I had a horse that when we were doing a jumping contest there were also flowers by the jump she stopped, and started eating them.... Yeah, It's a possibilty. A friend of mine had a problem like that with her horse and they had to take away the flowers.
