Help! my 5 yr has been going great this yr and its my first yr jumping and we were gettign double clears in 90 so we moved up to metre a few weeks ago which was going well.
But i was schooling at home and asked him for a long one which he cudnt do and he stopped- as it was my fault fair enuf! but he did this a week later over a tiny verticle and kept doing it and i fell off a few times as in very last stride- u think he is going to go and he stops and turns to the left very quickyl and i go out side door.
i took him to a comp lats week and he jumped double clear in 90 but stopped and di this two fecnes form home in metre and i fell off. because i am falling off i cant hit him which i really dont want him to think he is gettign away with it.
he is generally forgiving if i am not 100% right to a fence and this is unusal behaviour for him as he is generally very genuine?
it is my fault as a professional jumped him yesterday for me and he was perfect but i am loosing confidence now that he is going to go and worrying about seeing strides now incase i am wrong and he stops!
i was going to stick to 90 for a while to get both our confidence up but am worried he will do it in this class too. he isnt over faced as he jumped 1.10 last yr with a professional
help!
