How is my jumping coming along?

My daughter was taking the pics on my phone which is why they are not really over the jumps but how am I looking?

Had them all up to 2ft 3 2ft 4 by the end and from canter which is a HUGE thing for me

not one comment yet? I won't be offended (unless you are just nasty)

You're looking fab

 

[AmyMay]

Sorry.

You both look super. Perhaps soften your hands a little more......

thanks, I am clinging on for dear life. I have to hold her quite hard as otherwise she just charges at the jumps and terrifies me. Something we need to work on once I am a bit more confident jumping from canter.

It's my husband's horse really. Mine is off work following sarcoid treatment.

It's funny when I was jumping the jumps seemed HUGE but in the pics they look tiny

Looking good! I would say perhaps you could sit up slightly more coming into the fences - you look to be leaning into them which is a nervous thing (I can sympathise!), which will also impact upon your hands being slightly rigid. Lovely horse :O)

If your horse is rushing could you try some trotting poles before the fences? Or a canter pole to get her attention off the fence and onto her approach?

Second henry 1997, You look very balanced and in time over the second fence but you have crept forward a little, anticipating take off over the first. Looking good though!
