Marydoll, I happen to give many people lots of respect and help wherever I can. My comments were not SNIDE, I can do snide believe me. Infact, I think you are being quite snide towards me.

I didn't take this post as GENUINE like lots of others and so I made a big joke of it. So what? I gave CCT some good advice in the end when I felt it was more appropriate. You are right though, this is a forum... you do not KNOW who people are.

Yet, you feel it is apt to judge me. Very funny.

Yes. These ponies seem to be taking you for a ride, not the other way around. However, You do remind me of ponies & riding 22 years ago so it has made me laugh at least.

Keep practising and go for those jumpes iike you mean it girl!

You said in the vid he was xc pony... now, I don't profess to know what he would have been like then, but that course at the show is confusing. For my horse nevermind your pony. He doesn't seem to have much confidence on what he's meant to be doing.

In this thread many have said try poles into the jump. You need to focus that pony's mind. Its everywhere - he doesn't know where to look!

At home, maybe make a jumping "lane" with poles and then a "V" shape up into jumps so pony can build confidence. Do a bit at a time. 10 mins is enough at first.

I saw your other vid jumping a friends horse - too fast. You are simply not confident in asking for the jump and the pace. ASK for what you want of your horse, don't just LET him do what he THINKS you want. It's very confusing.

ok ill try tht n the course at the show was confusing i could hardly remember it and wat pony was i jumping in the other video??x
 
I think you need to work on your rhythm before you start jumping properly and work on getting a trot with impulsion but not so fast so the pony has a bit more time to asses the situation and is working in a way that makes it easier to jump.
Just my opininion take it or leave it.
 
rite thanks all for advice im so busy with the horses at the moment got 4 to ride and then if i havent roden the pony he is hyper so then i cant jump lol x
 
rite so i tryed all these different things u suggested and i managed to get him jumping but then everytime i jump he falls or goes lame so ive decided tht hes just to be a happy hacker x

Get the vet up, if your horse is going lame from jumping small fences I doubt it is up to ridden work full stop.
 
I read this thread from the start, and I'm pretty disgusted at the way people have taken the p**s out of a child wanting advice.

OP maybe get some jumping lessons? With another more experienced and well-behaved horse first, so that you know what you're doing is right. Then you can start with the naughty pony :D Part of me thinks 'he's at it' lol You just need to be strong and confident enough to show him that it's not acceptable to run out.

Good Luck! :D

Totally agree. What the hell is wrong with people?! It was evident from the first post that the OP is not very old, yet a bunch of morons come in and start taking the piss. Well done to the OP for remaining the sensible one, who is using the forum for its intended purpose! God forbid that any of the clique would ever ask for advice, because they obviously know everything :rolleyes:

OP - hope things are working out with the pony, there are some good bits of advice in with the dumb comments. Just simple poles at the side of the jump is often enough to stop a pony running out. And practice over smaller jumps that you can come into very steadily, in trot if it helps. Good luck.

Haha! Yes. What amazes me is a lot of these people love to offer advice where it's not wanted, yet when a child asks a question it's a big joke. I thought they were all experts?? :D
