Took Worm to a show today and had another elimination! Anyone got any tips/advice, she did a clear in the clear round, went in the ring and it was like she stuck two fingers up and said "no way" stopped at the first and then again at the fifth. Its been three eliminations in three shows, and i know she can do it as she does it at home easy, and alot bigger. She's done a lot of competing before I got her (she's 7) and Im lost as to what her problem is, or is it me? Please help, Im so disappaointed

Could it be the ground? Or nappiness?

If you have ruled out any pain then i would enter small classes, even if she is capable of jumping bigger. That way whatever she is faced with she can trot at and jump from stand still if necesary (as log as you are ready for it). This may get you both going and thinking forwards, then start going bigger gradually.

Maybe you could video it and ask an instructor to help you. Or if you ae feeling very brave post it on here!
 
yes, forgot the camera today. already in tiny classes thats the problem
