We've just added a new show jumping course to Rainbow's End Farm. Mom won't be hired by any carpenter's unions anytime soon but she gave it a heroic effort to handmake these jumps just for me. Mom and Dad both worked hard to make panels, wings, boxes and poles just for me! I even have directional flags & jump numbers!

	The course opens with the "Gated Community" 12' wide gate & large wings.
	In honor of our favorite Cross Country show, Mom handpainted these Rolex panels & added solid boxes below for our second jump.
	"Trellis Bueller" is the 3rd jump, featuring a trellis on each side & colorful sunburst flower box to match the rails.
	Mom really didn't have a picture to go on but tried to make this look like a white birch. The "Son of a Birch" and "Heinous Birch" jump standards are named in honor of my strange but fun parents! A very narrow skinny!
	The "Splattered About" oxer & boxes are wildly colored but Tuxedo doesn't give them a second thought!
	One of Mom's favorite jumps, the colorful "Humdinger" honors the plentiful hummingbirds we have during the summer. They really go crazy at the color coordinated flower boxes!
	My Aunts actually paid for this jump for my birthday. "The Aunt's Purple Pony Eater" is pink & purple, just as they requested & has flower boxes to match!
	"Lattice Entertain You" has light & dark colors of green in the wings, boxes & jumps. Just behind this jump, you can see the riding ring which holds my dressage arena.
	NOT one of Tuxedo's favorite jumps! The white & teal "A & W Coop Here" features my initials on the wings & a white coop in the center.
	The "Blue Lagoon" jump will be a liverpool when Mom finishes. Bright, tropical colors with the liverpool underneath (and it will even have it's very own liverpool shark!)
	"Over the Rainbow" features a Rainbow's End panel and colorful flower boxes in honor of our farm.
	And rounding out our course is our version of the famous Spruce Meadows "Canada Planks". Mom actually hand stenciled the maple leafs on both sides of each plank!
	A view of the whole course.
	Mom and Dad built this full size dressage arena for me several years ago.

With a full size dressage arena and, now, a full size show jumping course filled with almost any kind of jump you'd see at major shows, I'm almost all set to host my very own horse trials. Think Mom & Dad would like to start building me some cross country jumps,now?!
