Massive achievement for me, overcame a lifelong fear and jumped 30cms!

[poops]

Today Tia and & jumped. Following a fall as a child I have had a fear of jumping which has been with me for around 35 years ( wow that long, I am so old !! ).

I have longed to be able to conquer this fear and have really envied people who jump so well and make it look fantastic.

Anyway earlier this am Tia and I went over a tiny cross pole twice. I am so pleased to have achieved this. I am on cloud nine!!

Thank you Tia ( seen below ) for being such a wonderful, kind and patient pony. I love you xxx

Well done you! I had a nasty fall about 20 years ago at a hunter trials competition and I have not jumped since. Really scared of jumping, or even cantering in open spaces now. I'm jealous!

Well done, you must be soooooo thrilled.

Very well done

The first one is the hardest. Are you going to keep at it now or just happy you have cracked the fear?

I have same jumping fears but make myself do jumping lesson once a week (masochist or what?). Before lesson always have butterflies and am always on verge of saying 'let's just do a flat lesson this week'. But afterwards, like you, am on cloud nine that I've managed it. Well done for cracking your fear and keep going!

Well done, I had a fall over a jump when out huntting early this year, it knocked me for 6, as i have two kids, job ect ect and that little bit older now. I really wanted to jump my horse but thought she might over jump the jump "again" and i would pop out the side door again. but start small and go from their, it's helping me alot, and what a gr8 feeling when you go that little bit higher each time. good luck x
