You look a bit stiff in the first video but looks like the lesson was a great help.

Good luck with your progress

yes, very stiff... im always worried about her tanking off with me! even though i know i have control..

Ah well done, those are just the right height of jumps that I'd be happy with. I like forest edge, nice big arena.

im aiming to affiliate next year...

so need to be jumping around 80/90cms.... so my new coach is working on getting us ready.

the spread at the end of my training was pretty big and wide... considering i had only jumped tiny on the sunday...

ooh yeah I meant the first jumps at FE! They are my size. Your horse looks enthusiastic too, which is probably why you feel a bit stiff. Confidence is everything and I'm sure yours will continue to improve judging by those vids.

shes been really difficult, and ive struggled with my confidence...
