sorry in for a bit of a moan....
had an inhouse show today, just a little jumping one. I started these to encourage the younger ones to start jumping with the more advance girls so to become more of a group, and so everyone could enjoy their selves on their horses for once instead of being so serious!
the first few were a sucess, but today... the minimus was tiny, the novice was resonable and the open was HUGE! usually everyone jumps every class and finishes on a smile and because i forgot my tape measure, the girl who thinks she is the best show jumper on the yard was putting every jump up to 95cms, the height wasnt a problem but not every fence every to be that height.
so all the young girls got put off and didnt jump and felt a bit pushed out, so i was really annoyed, as once again the 'group' was split.
and on a good note, this was the first little show my boy has done and he was brilliant! no run outs! he jumped cones, oxers and spreads! every when he fluffed his stride she still tried 100% he was so honest, im chuffed with him!
not sure we are quite ready for a proper show and the turns wernt very good!!
and with the show ideas.... any ideas for another one to please everyone? maybe not to please everyone to to make everyone have a good time.
sorry about going on... well done for finishing!lol
