 Well, at least we didn’t knock a rail.  The photo is a little dark, so in case you can’t quite see it, that is me and Dot, jumping an 18” cross-rail at over 2’9”.  🤦‍♀️ We got one day of glorious footing, and we were finally able to jump outside for the first time in months! As you can tell, Dot was thrilled.  We had already jumped this cross-rail twice at the height it was actually supposed to be, but something was different this time. 😅 I don’t THINK I asked for the extra height, and she definitely left long, but that normally just results in a long jump at the right height. You can’t really tell, but we are directly over the middle, so it’s not like we jumped the high side.. lol  My trainer is standing about 10 feet away from us and her body posture is just… wow. After we finished our course, she burst out laughing and asked how high I thought the yellow and purple was. I answered 18”, and she said not for Dot, she jumped it at 2’9”!! Well, now we know how high Miss Dot can go 😂

 Hi all, today I’m doing a play-by-play product review of Matchy Matchy Sets, and online matching English tack store that I recently ordered a pack from. This is going to be a pretty long post, so buckle up! Link:  https://matchymatchysets.com/ —————————————————— Why I chose it:  So I’d been looking for a matching tack set for Dot and I for a few months. I started with super fancy (therefore way to expensive for my teenage budget) brands like Equestrian Stockholm and LeMieux. To be clear, if you have endless money, I totally recommend those brands, because they are incredibly nice and amazing!  The set also will hopefully be able to be used for years to come, when I eventually compete in jumpers. But on the review… Some details about the company: - they are located in Australia, so their amounts are in Australian Dollars - they give FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE The sets come with: Nylon halter with silver plated buckles Matching Lead Rope Saddle Pad with  single twist  cord Medium protectio
