Hi, for those of you that know that I show jump and after an accident last November, we`ve slowly managed to get back to British Novice and Discovery. We`ve competed in 2 HT and some x-c schooling too.
We went to Weston Lawns a month ago and we went in the British Novice. We had a stop and 2 down. The following week, we won the 85cm and the British Novice, so well over the moon. Last week we went to Hargates and jumped BN and had a run out at first fence, but not too fussed as a lot were getting eliminated at first fence and there were 4 or 5 falls there too. We went round ok after that. We then entered in the Discovery and we had the last fence down. I was really pleased with her though and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
We`ve not long got back from going again today and in the BN, we had fence 7 down, so not too fussed. But in the Discovery, we had Fence 1 down, not too fussed, then we had a run out at the last fence, a red double, then another run out at 2nd attemp and so elimination.
She ran out about 3 strides away. There wasn`t anything really that she should`ve ran out at. It was just a pole, plank, pole, no fillers, nothing. What is going on??
So feeling a little useless at the moment.
Has anyone got any suggestions for exercises to help with knocking poles out?
