Hopeful Course Walk

OK, so my intention was to walk the cross country course and take pics of all the jumps.  Apparently I got caught up in the moment because even though I walked it THREE times I didn't get pictures of all of them.  Including #1.

First Novice course ever:

#1:  Uphill to a big ramp.  Not pictured.

   Uphill to #2: Inviting Triple Bar

Around a sharp corner to #3:  Brushy Vertical

Down a steep hill to  #4:  Deary Ditch

Up a hill to the GIGANTIC #5: Sneeky Slats

Gradual uphill to scary #6: Rock Wall

Down down down a hill and around a corner to #7: Picnic Table

Another pic of #7 because it's the biggest thing we've jumped.  Ever.

Land downhill and take a sharp left to get through #8: Compulsory Passage

Up a big hill then (you can't tell from the pic) down a long steep hill to the log into the water.  I didn't get a close up shot because I was too worried about it to take one.

Through the water, then a sharp left to #10: Log

#11 was a big coop set up in the warm up arena.  

#12 Betty's Bank Up

#13 was a down bank into the main arena.

#14 A and B were two log verticals two strides apart.  
I was worried about these and it turns out for good reason.

#15 was a rail road tie jump

 #16 was a nice big ramp of logs that we hit perfectly in stride to end the course.

More to come when I get some pics and video of the showjumping round.  Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
