Jumping????????

Im sorry you've got some sarcy replies but we do have a troll problem and i guess you are guilty til proven otherwise.

My advice-get an instructor to help you. They can watch and see what is going wrong and give you ways to overcome it.
Do gridwork with small cross poles to help build your confidence, slowly building the fences to small uprights.
Carry a whip to back up your leg if you feel your pony is backing off. If the fence is small and he stops, make him go over from a standstill, dont turn him around as he is getting what he wants.
When he does jump, give lots of praise.
And act confident! horses sense the fear so if you have confidence, the horse will have confidence :)
 
CCT - is your Mum horsey? do any of your friends have horsey parents?

If so why don't you ask one of them to come over and see what's happening? It sounds to me like you need a bit of help from an adult.

Don't get frustrated and upset with your pony, don't carry on like you are, stop trying to jump at all until you can get someone to help you. Whereabouts in the country are you?

ETA: sorry - I see you are in Scotland

Sorry kadastorm... we tried that. Didn't work. Faulty landing gear.

Even if it is a wind up, other ppl read thread and have same sort of issues, why not just give the best advice you have, and theres always the risk that it is a young child after a sensible answer?

Are you serious? You genuinely think that someone would take my post seriously??? Dang... I had no idea people were that dense...
NO chance this is an authentic poster. None. Zilch. And I'm ALWAYS willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Absolutely!!!!

OMG do you not know who PapaFrita IS??? She is King Advice giver of HHO. No problem too big! I mean she has her own franchise of horse training DVDs and equipment which any HHOer worth their salt owns, subscribes to and follows to the letter with great success. My horses even bake me bread each morning.

Thanks PF :)

p.s. when is your new series going to be launched? I can't wait!!!!! Loved your Jubilee Workshop!

No not at all, of course people will see your responses as sarcasm.....I actually said people might have the same problem as the op and read the posts with interest and look for some helpful advice.

someone wrote a bucking thread earlier and I read it with interest and gained some knowledge from the answers, just because someone may or may not be a troll, doesnt mean we can't give positive replies. I think the op sounds like a child not a troll, but hey ho!

I agree DD :) enjoyed the same thread as well. Want to feel I can let my guard down and ask a question even if it's a bit numpty and get genuine replies
 
Now come one ladies, we did provide constructive advice if you read the thread... however, we just got numpty questions back - now, tell me if you will, at which point do you snigger a bit to yourself and realise it's a friday freebie? And then join and a laugh aswell...

Glad to be of service... always here to help :)

See, I like to do that with my mags, cut out the expensive handbag adverts at the beginning 'cause I know I can't have them!
