My friend decided she would like to join me at Astley shows just for clear round class, but all she has jumped was bottom height cavaletti in trot, canter scared her. So I started teaching her I love teaching people.
She is so much like me in that she panics and holds, so her horse gets to the fence and pings, but with my help I've had her jumping about clear round height in canter, and she lets him go forward a bit more too.
Her bf took a few pictures in our last session,

I then put a straight up at the height the cups are at on the above pic but there's no pics.
I decided to teach her to do a spread she's never done one before, so I kept it at that height with full height cavaletti, she said no way, so i put cavaletti on bottom height and jump down too. She turned into it, turned away and said 'cant do that' and she was pretty adamant about it. So I jumped him over it and then she saw how small it is to jump and she had a go.
We must have been stood on a slight hill there.
It wasn't till I saw the pictures I realised how long my stirrups were, must shorten them next time.
