I ride 2 horses, one is sort of retired the other is 12 and learning new things all the time
did his first showcross on Sunday and was brill!!
A bit about me.....
Now Ive not had an actual lesson for about 4 years but have only had a year off from riding in all that time due to pregnancy and lack of horses!!
my problem with Jumping is this..I stare at the fence, I know that sounds simple but I freeze about a stride out and drop the poor horse infront of the fence then its a mad scramble over.
I had a bad fall xc along time ago now but its since then...also being out of practice doesnt help (I improve the more I do it) But even jumping more often I still will 'miss' some fences beacuse of my staring....
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to stop me freezing and making such a hash of it??
(Im trying to improve as ive got the oppotunity to do a clear round hunter trial in Oct and I want to get it right!! Also when ive got the funds for my own horse I have the eventing bug
)
Sorry for rambling and if this make NO sense...
