Just so you know, I seriously contemplated calling this post “On Cloud 9 with a Turd Sandwich“. But that’s probably not the best SEO strategy in the world.
Thursday Jack and I headed over to the trainer’s, to finally jump some colored sticks after 6 months of being completely earthbound.
I expected the golden boy to come out in full spooky fashion, seeing as he hasn’t seen his shadow under lights in a long time, and you know, his tail is occasionally terrifying. But he wasn’t. Color me gobsmacked.
He was actually jumping so well, in fact that we moved past trotting 18″ and actually cantered fences and everything. See the below compilation of some of our finer moments:
And then the train started to come off the tracks. Jack got a little overambitious, dragging me to fences, one of which I wasn’t intending to jump. So, there’s that.
It took us some time to install brakes again and approach fences in a reasonable fashion, but luckily the video kept going:
We finished on a good note (not captured here as our videographer was cold and deserved to go home), and despite the naughtiness, I have to say:
I AM SO STUPID HAPPY.
It’s so nice to be back.
Red on the Right 
Yay! He looks very happy to be back doing the jump thing.
