#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, we finally finished our ring in the front yard this weekend, and I decided to take my pony out and free jump her for fun. Ernie deicded to tag along, and he also decided that he is a jumper mule!! He's kinda young to be jumping, so we only did it a coupl of times, but I got some pics!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/ShezaPerfectAngel/SweetPea002.jpg"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Sweet Pea!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/ShezaPerfectAngel/SweetPea001.jpg"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Ernie's turn!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Edited to add: the jump is around 2'10"......Ernie is pretty good!!
