I can't remember the jump

[WhiteMagic]

Heyy,

I don't if it is just me or it happens to other people too.

When I'm jumping I can remember the stride up to the jump and the stride after but take off, mid air and landing are just a blank. Its really odd, I'm not scared when jumping and I trust my horse totally but my brain doesn't seem to remember it no matter the size of the jump.

Does this happen to other people too?
Or am I just the odd one out

Totally odd! Lol

Only if i'm jumping something big, otherwise horse tends to just hop over, not jump properly

perhaps it's the lack of oxygen at high altitude.

It doesn't matter so long as you can get to the other side of it. I'm the same sometimes. Just keep your head up!!

It happens over any size jump :S big or little, My eyes stay open as you can see them open in pictures.

Its bugs me as I want to remember flying

Nope, you're obviously mad! Or your horse jumps at warp speed so you miss it!

You're not completely odd (well you might be but not in this case).
I don't tend to remember the actual jump either. Probably because my focus is on the approach. Once i'm happy with it and on the final stride (or two) my focus switches to what needs to happen on landing. The actual jump is the horses job so i dont think about it too much.

Nope, I don't remember it either before I know it I'm approaching the next fence, on the floor or cantering round the school xx

 

[jeeve]

There is a girl in our PC zone that holds her breath round the showjump course, once she gets to the end, she is nearly passing out/choking/vomiting all at once. I am surprised if she would remember any of the jumps. Poor kid.

I often don't - unless you get that awesome "flying" feeling over it, otherwise my brain is too busy thinking about landing and riding away to remember the actual jump...
