Hurrah! Tiger's back - love the way he's diving into the water  , he really is loving it, well done 
Was a bit worried he's been supplanted by a new love , as we hadn't heard from you both for a while. |

OMG, your horse LOVES his life....wow! This is fantastic! Can i share your video on my facebook? I love the intro when he says Tiger is one of the few jumping arabs in the country and then Tiger shows us how EASY it is for him!!! And he doesn't even look that big an arab!
What is his breeding? How big is he? How did you discover how much he loves jumping?
My ex-broodmare Esme seems to like to jump. Poor horse is landed with me and I am a bit nervous of jumping even my old trusty welsh, let alone my springy arab! However, she likes it so much and is good at it, so I do try.....but only in the school, not over the big cross country stuff. Oh, but can't Tiger fly???!!!! |

Inspirational!
I do suspect that most arabs would be good at jumping if they weren't ridden by people like me who too chicken. |

| Arachnid, it's true...! And because my mare is "arab shaped" I worry more than I ought to on a number of things. I WOULD like to show Esme this video of Tiger, however, and demonstrate to her how some arabians actually do seem to wear a bit without finding it offensive....!!! |

Martha, just a partial answer on Jess's behalf as I've seen Tiger in the flesh (with another "hat" on - open showing at HOCON), you wouldn't believe that he is 16hh from those photos; Jess has the longest legs I've ever seen!

Martha here's his breeding
http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/av+kubla+khan
I've seen him in the flesh too - just gorgeous (and definitely 16hh).
If you do a search on here for Jess and Tiger, Jess has posted some amazing videos which tell their story and are really beautiful (they are on Facebook too). Well worth looking at, and certainly make me well up when I watch them at times.
I am gutted that I can't watch the video above due to the company firewall
He's Lily's cousin, so I think it's time to channel Tiger and teach her to jump - a job for the winter - she's as tall as him, so surely we can make it over 2'6"???? |

FANTASTIC...... you look spectacular together and it's so lovely to see a horse really enjoying ridden work. You deserve all your success as you have worked so hard to get him where he is today. Well Done 'Tiger and Jess'

Well done, you're both looking super, you can see how much he loves it - Gus is the same, just lights up when he sees the jumps! I just wish he would be quite as enthusiastic as Tiger with water but we're getting there ;) In the meantime i'm going to register him BS
Gus is catching up with him height wise too, he is now 15.3...#
