Another day at pony club.

So here I am trotting up to a log in cross country and ..... correct no jumptake two.... no jump and so on. so my teacher is there going "give her a kick.. show her who's boss" and I'm like oh yer ok, I give Minky a kick and Minky does this gigantic bunny hop jump over a ground log and I almost find myself sat in the mud .. but I make a save and I stayed on ok.

How I managed to stay in the saddle seems like a miracle to me however Minky seemed happy with the jump because in the next class when I had show jumping, she cleared the round in 25 seconds and got the time record for the day!

Sounds like Minky was jumping the same way a mule does. Mules don't trot or canter up to the gate the way horses do - they do the trotting or cantering, but then they come to a full stop and leap straight up like a deer over the fence. And they are prodigious jumpers, too! There's competitions here in the States - they call it "coon jumping" (which somehow sounds like a nasty term, doesn't it?).

Now you can call her Minky the Mule!
