Indoor SJ

[Katie__Connie]

I'm off to a show jumping competition tomorrow and its in an indoor arena..... i just thought- I've never jumped inside before!!

Is it very different? Bit scared now!!

 

[Kallibear]

It's lovely jumping of a good surface!

only problems are generally the warm up area is very crowded as space is limited.

Plus my horses are both complete pansies and are totally freaked out by the seating the local places have.

The only things to consider is lack of space (if you have a big horse) and spooky things that your horse may have a peek at if he isn't used to jumping indoors!
Where abouts are you going and waht class are you doing?

 

[thrillsnspills]

I don't find it very different, other than the space obviously being a bit tighter. But ditto to Kallibear, the surfaces are usually excellent! Good luck!

Just treat it exactly the same, ride the same, it really is no different! Most of all, have fun and do a report!

I am going to the Quorn Hunt show jumping at Vale View Equestrian centre

I'm doing the 1 metre class

No my horse is only 14.1hh so should be ok

And shes pretty sensible so hopefully should be ok

Thanks for the good luck vibes!

KC - you will be fine - there is plenty of room in the indoor there - is it your first time there?

You warm up in the outdoor behind the indoor and then go through the big doors to the indoor. My neices horse saw herself in the mirrors (on the left wall as you go in) and gawped at herself for a bit and my friends horse decided the indoor was scary and dumped him at the doors!! They have good jumps but have lots of bright colours and fillers.

I'm sure you will be fine - have fun and good luck!!

yep slinky its my first time there!

Ok i will watch out for the mirrors but T is very good so should be fine

Thanks a lot and i will post full report tomorrow night

Never had a problem apart from at BCA where the sun was shining through the slats in the wall making shadows on the floor

...Bob insisted in jumping over everyone

Have fun

look forward to your report !

I prefer it!
It's away from the wind and rain, and general weather
nice surfaces too
