[drivingpairs] Great pictures!

Wow! cool pictures Keith. I loved the jump shot! Made me laugh like crazy as 
we are currently training our Section C (the older half of our future pair) to 
jump so my daughter can compete in Welsh shows this coming year. I think of 
hazards that may cause the "Jump" instinct to kick in:~)What kind of carriage 
is that?
