Golden Cross BSJA - 28 August 2013



I took four Cullawn horses only two of them are registered BSJA but there were free day tickets to jump.

So, took our new Cullawn horse JJ (Cullawn Royal) well he isn't that new, been with us for nearly two years. He came over from Ireland as a 6 year old just been broken as a 5 year old with not a lot of miles on the clock. We started work with him but he was so nervous and didn't trust anyone he was a nightmare to shoe, clip and to brush, we thought we would give him time to settle in by putting him out for a few months but a few months ended up being 8 months! I'm glad he had this time to chill out because he is a totally different horse, our farrier has taken his time with him, just trimming his feet and he had his first pair of front shoes on, without being sedated!!

I decided to take him out and do the 90cm class this is his 3rd time out. He is still very green but has so much scope, we had a silly run out at the second part of the double where he jumped in so big. I took him in the 1m class and he jumped a much better round, we had two down but it felt a lot more controlled. Hopefully he will turn out like a true Cullawn horse!!

Corby came for the ride and went into the 1.05 making it look easy with a double clear
Holly went double clear in the 1.05 and came 3rd, I also took her in the 1.10 where we had one down in the jump off.
