Jasmine has now owned Casper for two years and during that time has been on a rollercoaster ride. Casper is to this day Jasmines biggest challenge.

From picking him up in Belgium from the Overis Stud as a just backed horse to winning nearly every showing class he has done, jumping up to 1.45m at home and doing a Grand Prix class with fences ranging from 1.10-1.20m as a rising 6 year old.

Santorini Van Overis Z in the beginning of January 2011. Jasmine is so pleased with this youngster, she feels he is such a star and cannot rave enough about him - he takes everything in his stride and has so far been one of her easiest green horses to deal with.

Not the greatest show for results, but Jasmine was pleased with the horses as they both behaved extremely well. Tevita hasn't been back in work for a great deal of time and she jumped super over the six days away. Casper jumped the biggest tracks he has ever done, an A10 1.10m class with some fences at 1.20m.

Jasmine hopes the year 2011 brings better results, she is looking forward to changing some aspects of her riding, improving all the time and enjoying the journey.

She hopes everyone has a great New Year and 2011 brings success to a lot of people and she would also like to thank you to everybody who has given her kind words and helped her recently.

Reeno has started wearing a bridle for 30 minutes a day and is slowly becoming accustomed to lunging. Below is a short video showing his first time being lunged and free jumping a small jump in the arena.
