Finally came the time to dig out my brave pants and teach him to jump. Why? He needs mental stimulation; its great for developing more power, confidence and he actually enjoys a good blast around the farm ride.
We've had a few blips along the way, ending with me having a black eye. Note to self...buy a skull cap!
Imagine how a Gazelle leaps, transfer that to a horse and you have Russia's day one jumping style. 2ft jumps became 4ft, we must always make sure we don't touch them (even if it means smacking mum in the face with his head). Oh and finally, if not sure - put the breaks on so you can take a look and Gazelle leap like never before off all fours from a stand still.

I decided to hang my brave pants back in the cupboard and pass the reins to Hayley - who actually thinks this is fun!!
