I may have the opportunity to take part in a clinic with a famous SJ'er at a friends yard.
But i cant decide whether to or not, im an adult on a pony for a start, and i am really paranoid people watching will be really anti and snobby about it.
I'd feel a bit silly if everyone else was on what i call 'proper' horses and thought i should be too? and jumping affiliated heights?
My pony is [i think] a good little jumper, i lost a lot of confidence in a serious jumping accident when i was 14 and since buying her [march 06] i started with the tiniest of cross poles and have now competed 3ft hunter trial and 2ft3 SJ (doing up to 2ft9 at home)
she is capable of jumping 3ft 6 according to my instructor who saw her jump with previous owners loanee
What would you do if you were in my position?? Am i just being a baby?! i think i am but do you think my thoughts are justified and perhaps i shouldnt do it? I'm a typical libra so very undecisive as you may be able to tell!!
just to give an idea of her size she is 13.1 so not like she is a big 14.3 almost horse type pony!!
