Discovery classes...

[MrsMagoo]

Just having a blonde moment - but whats the general height of discovery? Trying to figure out if im brave enough to do this after BN on Sunday...gotta do it sometime lol

 

[Emma123]

1 metre

Just do it you'll be fine

 

[PaddyMonty]

1 mtr in first round - up to 1.10 in second part or jump off

 

[Kelly1982]

Yep its 1mtr!!

You wont even notice the difference in height anyway as it will be the same as the BN jump off!!!

If i am brave enough to do it on Senza then trust me you can do it on Star

 

[MrsMagoo]

Just get worried as it takes a little bit more style and technique to get round the bigger courses which im not sure we have just yet?? lol...i know she can do it..jumps 1.30ish at home...

Gonna try and have a practice tonight upto hieght and see how we get on

 

[MrsMagoo]

Oh really, it is?? Thats not too bad then, i dont really notice that...hmmm maybe it is doable then lol

 

[Kelly1982]

Yeah go on, give it a go!!! You wont know til you try

 

[Rambo]

If you're getting placed in BN with DC's then you should be jumping Discovery now

Don't leave it until you have jumped yourself out of BN and then have no choice

As said, the 1st round will be the same height as the BN JO anyway, and if the horse is going well enough to make the JO in the Disco, it is generally going well enough to try to jump it

 

[MrsMagoo]

Ok ok well time depending on Sunday and if she goes well BN then ill try the discovery

Fingers crossed lol...just have to remind myself to sit up and steer haha

 

[MrsMagoo]

Is this about Discovery hieght?

 

[H-J]

Id say so

 

[Kelly1982]

Not sure as its hard to tell from a pic but about that.

1mtr is roughly 3'3 if that helps

 

[Rambo]

Possibly, but you might see some slightly bigger too. It's very difficult to judge from a photo, and also some days the courses just look bigger than others

 

[MrsMagoo]

Cool...hopefully they have a good course builder sunday and make them nice for me hehe

God ive really got to get my act together...

Hi, Is it 1m10 or is it 1.05m or does it depend on what is the next class afterwards?
Did you go to WL today?

 

[MrsMagoo]

Well i practiced jumping at home last night and pleased to report we cleared a double at 1m-1.10m no probs

so its looking like a good bet to have a go hehe

 

[Rambo]

That's great news and good luck. Just try not to concentrate on the heights, but on getting a good rhythm from the start, and everything else should fall nicely into place
