Pigeon: An A to Z of Horseome
Today we say goodbye to an amazing equine, and I bid a heart breaking farewell to my faithful friend of seven years.
Following a positive diagnosis of PPID two years ago darling Pigeon initially responded really well to treatment with Pracsend. It was around July in 2015 that I started to notice odd issues... There was an incident at Sapey when she misread a cross country fence becoming trapped and reared over backwards to free herself in her state of panic (I blamed my riding - that’s what I do). She was less keen in her jumping. Again I blamed this on myself, convinced I had lost confidence at Sapey and was transmitting those nerves to Pigeon. Following that her behaviour slowly became i...

Crisis of Confidence - Lyneham Heath - Helmet Cam
Просмотров 518 тыс.8 лет назад
I’m very annoyed with myself for showing such a lack of commitment and nerve in this video. After two eliminations in 2014 and a couple of falls in 2015 (the last one seeing both Pigeon and I going over backwards out on the cross country course at Sapey) I have lost a lot of confidence in myself. I have been making progress with getting my bottle back but didn’t realise how lacking it was until...
Pinging Pigeon/Swearing Alex!
Просмотров 94 тыс.8 лет назад
In an effort to get my nerve back I spent last week building the fences up (this course is around 95-110cm)... Still feeling a bit scared though hence the last minute stops when I loose my legs! Silly really as Pige is on great form when I just relax, ride and commit to the jump! All the self bullying is working though. We went to a show at Cherwell Competition Centre two days after this and th...

Lots of fun at our yard show today, despite Pigeon being very hot and full of herself! Joint second in our first veterans class, first in the horse most suited to rider (as she's a full on stroppy mare at the moment, I'm not sure what that win says about me). We finished up with a clear round (another first for us) as it was a chance to stick the fences up as I try to prepare for Blenheim in a ...

2015 BRC FOTH Eventer's Challenge - Total Recall

It is always such an honour to ride at a National Championship and the Festival of the Horse must be one the best (not that I have ridden at any others). This was our first trip of the 2015 season up to Washbrook Farm, Aston le Walls and we had a great day. Pigeon made the technical cross country course feel very easy (despite having a good look around at all the people watching, taking photos ...

Jenny and I were blessed with a beautiful morning of sunshine at Crown Farm (Ascott Under Wychwood, Oxon) for our recent schooling trip. The short cross country courses were still flagged and dressed after an event the previous day and the ground was perfect! Jenny has put in lots of work over winter and you can see the difference in Penny who has much more flow and confidence (provided Jenny d...
Aaron Nobbs Jump Training - Part 1
Просмотров 27 тыс.9 лет назад
Our first lesson with a new show jump trainer Aaron Nobbs! He had soon exposed our weaknesses and had us working hard (physically in the heat as well as mentally) to correct them. I had not noticed before my habit of letting my hands bunch together on top of Pigeon's neck and widening them certainly helped to channel and focus PIge on the fence more. He also suggested that I should halt during ...
BRC Eventer Challenge Qualifier

Flipping fantastic start to the season for West Oxfordshire Riding Club at the Area 18 Eventer Challenge qualifier at Swalcliffe! A sixth for Tor with a double clear in the challenge 100. Second for Chloe in the Junior 90 section... But Pigeon was the star of the 90 team/individual! She romped home double clear ONE second under the bogey time. Our score of 0.4 penalties took the lead until late...

Lovely friendly low key event and a great opportunity for some show jump practise on excellent old turf before eventing commences at Swalcliffe on April 19th! I only did the 85cm round and I was very happy with Pige once she had settled down.... she felt the need to have a good look around before getting on with ...
Jumping with Joe - Part 5

Pigeon and I headed back out to Wickstead Horseplay with West Oxfordshire Riding Club for some show jump training with Joe MacDonald (and a quick blast around the cross country). I was pleased with Pigeon considering that this is the first time we have jumped this kind of height in over six months, and Pige had a bit of a cough after some dusty hay bales (now being soaked). She got herself a bi...

    I subconsciously keep telling myself leg leg leg and kick on and counting my strides when i watch your videos and if you havent had a crisis of confidence at some point in your riding career then either your not pushing yourself hard enough or you havent had a bad fall

    If you're a woman you have natural ability to do horse jumping. You have a natural rythum that no man was given. So just realize you can do it. Don't agree with me? Just look at the shear number of videos of women jumping perfectly compared to male videos. It's true. I really wish I had been born as a female. My loss. You can do this, I cannot

    • @Caz_Hamilton

      that is incorrect. Women cant have the "natural ability" because the sport was created by men.

    It's all very logical. If you don't see your distance and you are behind the movement half of the time, your horse will give up sooner or later.
