do you.. jump in the rain?

Yes of course. On grass also from time to time. Competitions don't get cancelled for a rain shower or we may as well practice. If the ground feels slippy I keep the height sensible and turns wide.
 
I would judge by how the ground was going as opposed to the sky. Same as I wouldn't jump on hard ground in the sunshine.

However, my horse hates rain, so it would be a little be pointless, though he'd still do it.
 
Yes, as stated above, I jump on grass if its raining.

Provided the ground conditions are suitable then I don't see what difference it makes if it is raining or not, and as its an all weather surface, then I would hope I could still jump on it.
 
yep, best lessons i've ever had have been jumping in the rain. could have done with goggles though, i'm not sure whether it's good or bad not being able to see very well while approaching the biggest fence you've ever jumped!
 
Nope :P But then it rains so infrequently here that we don't need to! I'll obviously continue riding if a shower comes along and I'm already on the horse, but if it's heavy rain then I don't bother.

On an all-weather surface maybe. Not ever seen one to be honest!
 
Nope - BUT - I'm not really a jumping person and only ever jump when I feel like it, never competively. I would rather go out for a hack in the rain that jump or school that way you can just sit still and only get certain places wet rather than moving around soaking every part of you!
 
I try and ride in all weathers as it's good practise for shows.

I 'm struggling a bit at the moment as at grass livery (short term) and they are in with a rug destroyer so as long as he's dry to tack up then I'm off although lateral work in a strong wind is often intersting! :eek:
