Yesterday I was having some random thoughts about BSJA, and my ponies! And have come to the conclusion, you can't do very well in affilated juniors unless you have a 11-14h speed pony! When I was jumping ponies affilated I was doing very well and getting double clears etc... However I soon outgrew them and was given a 15.2hh tb to try it on, this was just like a big pony! Then I brought a 16.2hh warmblood, and found it very hard to get anywhere in the junior classes. Because the little ponies, can turn on a sixpence, fast, choppy legs, add sudden strides etc.. Whereas with a horse you have to be more careful (If you get my thought) and after only about 5 months competing with him, I had to stop as I was getting nowhere! He is now looking for a home, which I am making sure is a senior competor so he can get the points he deserves. Anyone else ever think like this sometimes.
