Thanks for all the advice. I'm now giving it some thought but am very keen on the idea

My mare has just turned 15, I've had her for two years and she has never had a foal (that I know of!) I was thinking of putting her in foal next year, so she would probably be nearly 16. She is quite nice and fit at the moment and is generally very good for her age. I don't really know much...

I think I will ask my friend to jump her for me, that should help. I'm in Gloucestershire at the moment.

Thanks, you're right I'm already addicted! I have a friend who sometimes helps, but I can't really afford to have lessons on a regular basis. But then I'm usually too nervous to try jumping on my own as there's no one there to tell me what I'm doing wrong!

Has anyone got any tips for over-coming jumping fears? I have had my mare for nearly a year now but have never been very confident when jumping her, which has often led to refusals that knock my confidence even more. I used to really enjoy cross country but have been doing less and less these...
