Posy's show jumping debut

Posy went along to the babies' clear round show jumping on Sunday.  She was shocked by big pictures of elephants at the first fence so stopped and then did a cat leap over it.  She jumped the second and third fences but was alarmed by another scary filler at the fourth and slammed the brakes on, twice.  Then she realised it wasn't too awful after all and jumped it, and the rest, without dislodging her rider.  After receiving a peppermint and having a few minutes to think it over, she had a second go round.  This time she flew round for a clear and was showered with peppermints and carrots, and was awarded a ribbon.

Posy didn't fail to point out that on my show jumping debut, I didn't even recognise that the objects in front of me were jumps, and has put her superior performance down to six generations of KWPN breeding, and the fact that none of her ancestors were required to plough fields.
