I am hoping to get an eventer to come over and jump Grace a bit through the summer to get her back on track with that... She has lost so much confidence jumping it is unbelievable, whereas before she would literally jump anything she now feels a bit wary and wobbly about it. I know that it does not help that I am not experienced enough with jumping to get her right at the jump and help her out. I jump for fun and only do the smaller ones.
So, I have been trying to loose jump her but I cannot say this has been wholly successful either as I am usually on my own
I have been putting up a jump lane with one cross pole at the bottom. I have been leading her in through trot, then encouraging her from the side once she gets into the jump lane...
Does anyone have any tips or advice on how I can improve this?
I am hoping to start doing some in the saddle once she has done this for a little bit, but at the moment I do not feel I will help the situation being on board... she was a really good jumper before, very brave, so I would like to get her back to that stage.
This is a video of her jumping in the summer of 2007 before the injury with the eventer who I am hoping will come up again this summer... I know the jump is not constructed great, I made a bit of a hash about it and have since seen where I went wrong
