We took the Glove out for a test jump today! It was a glorious, if not windy, day here in SE Texas. We warmed up in the arena jumping, then did a few cross-country jumps, some down drops and water.

 

 

I can truthfully say that I felt no difference whatsoever in how General moved or jumped. He felt safe and comfortable, as always. My instructor noticed no difference in how Gen was moving, either on the flat or over the jumps. They seemed to not hold any water after the water jumps (important to us eventers!).

 

I can tell you that Gen's feet are still transitioning abit and he has a few cracks and flares, so not yet perfect! BUT I am thinking that with time and a few more trims, he'll fit the #2s... but if not the #2s, I think the #2.5s with the Power Strap will do very well. Where can I get the Power Straps? Are they on the market yet? All that said, it was a great day, and the Glove did amazingly well at it's first (?) jumping test!!

 

 

 

 

P.S.: I will be posting my glowing review on the Chronicle of the Horse BB in the Eventing and Endurance forums.
