Ooh marvellous, you both look very correct and composed in those pictures. Well done. What height was it? I'm trying to get my eye in on heights as everything to me looks mahoooosive.
 
LOL Bernster - I didn't buy the ones where my reins were like washing lines and he had p***ed off across the arena full of enthusiasm :D :D

Those are just 75cm, they look tiny to me I have to say.....

Yes, a wise investment to only buy those that make you look good :-)

Hmm, I feel ok with them being 75. I was hoping they were bigger but actually they look ok for 75. I'm trying to convince myself...

Isn't it funny that to you they look tiny!
 
Thank you all for yout lovely comments :)

Bernster I know what you mean about jumps seeming big - they do to me when I’m not actually going over them! you are probably too young for this but I have to put jumps into ‘old money’ to make myself feel ok about them
- “oh don’t be stupid that’s only 2’6”” :D I used to jump 1m without a second thought, now I am crawling back up to doing 90cm - I think Jensen will be a big factor in that as he makes it all seem easy and fun :)

I'm with you on all jumps looking big! Even when I was regularly competing BE90/100 level I hated going near any of the jumps because it just made me scared! I actually used to avoid walking the SJ too closely so that I couldn't compare myself to the fence height :D
 
I once jumped 45cm on Granny horse and thought I was the dog's proverbials. Just sayin'. :lol: (i.e. I think anyone that can jump anything with any confidence is pretty impressive!)
 
hate the way pics make the jumps seem smaller than real life lol. He is flying them and you look a fab team. well done
