1m to 1.15m is it too big a jump?

Everything's already been said really, but I think it depends primarily on whether the rider is accurate or not. With an accurate, confident rider, it's not necessarily so much of a step, but without, it is. 1m is usually hop-able from a decent canter even on a real misser, but 1.15 (with similar spread) is not...
oops sorry, posted when you did.
that sounds very promising, good luck and have fun, she sounds great!

Hi, Thanks very much for your replies, you have confirmed what I was thinking really. Thought maybe I was being a bit of a wuss thinking it was too big :-) To put some of your minds at ease although I haven't jumped a lot of big tracks I am a very experienced rider with many years of practice jumping very difficult horses around 1m sort of height fences. Never got any higher due to the very difficult horses not really giving me the confidence. This horse however is completely different. She is amazing at everything. She will jump anything you ask of any stride (and clear it most of the time). I schooled her tonight and tried some bigger fences. She flew over everything (between 1.10 and 1.15). Gave me lots of confidence that we could do it however I am not in a rush but equally don't want to be jumping British Novice for next 5 years. I have done BN and discov at Bolesworth before and got placed in both so atmosphere etc is no problem to us. I am going to give the Newcomers a go but if at any point she doesn't feel happy or as confident I will retire. Thanks for all your advice, I haven't been offended at all by people being blunt, think its the best way to be. :-)
