Hedge Hopping

I must confess that as I showed GROOM the five bar gates last weekend I couldn't quite believe that I'd jumped them. Maybe they'd been opened and replaced with pallets, as above.

Everyone was looking forward to yesterdays meet, in hedge country. The warm up was a couple of pallet fences, as above, and a stone wall. Any doubts that MONSTER and i (grammer) had cleared five bar gates was dispelled by fence four, which was a metal five bar gate. We sailed it. In fact as the fences get higher I've noticed that there's more time to get ready for landing. Tuck your head between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye, as the old joke goes.

For the third week running I stayed on board, so I'll tempt fate and say that I'm improving. Woop!
