The video quality isn't the best

I was concentrating on rhythm so the fences aren't particularly big - 80cms max

Sorry, I'm not a jumper so no CC but I do have two things to say...

1. I love your horse.

2. One day I hope that I can put '80cm' and 'not particularly big' in the same sentance.

U did great- well done

This makes me jealous cause I dream of taking Ethel out even just to do a clear round but my issues are :
1. I have no saddle for her and
2. I have no transport/nowhere within hacking distance for shows


But well done to you, I have no CC but it looked good to me

Thank you - he looks after me when we go out to play (unless there are horse-eating monsters hiding in the jump wings )

There was a time (about 7 years ago) when I thought 80cms was huge. It didn't help that my horse at the time thought it was acceptable to jump chest first

Just some small points:

*1st fence needed a little more "oomph"
*I would like to see your hands a bit lower into the fences and more still

apart from that it looked very fun!

yep - I have a bad habit of hands coming up when he tries to rush into the fence. Must remember to sit up, put my hands down and shorten my reins a bit. My dressage instructor would be pleased with them
The first fence was my fault - I wasn't paying attention and almost missed it I do agree though - he was lacking a bit of oomph in general.
It might be that the fences are on the small side for him and he doesn't respect them as much as he should

You look great! Don't know much about jumping but looks to me like you have got a very steady rythym going and that you are seeing a stride perfectly! I would love to get to your standard with my boy, but alas we are yet to master the cross pole! x

I saw a few duff strides and banged myself on the pommel coming off of fence 2
it hurt
